Episode 7 - What a Hostile Europe Means for Migrants’ Participation in Politics and Society

With far-right parties gaining traction at multiple levels of government and a more right-wing European Parliament than ever, Europe’s political landscape is becoming increasingly hostile to migrants. In this shifting climate, what is happening to migrants’ political and civic participation? What avenues remain for migrants to mobilise and engage in politics? To explore these questions, host Seden Anlar speaks with Dr. Anna Lenkewitz-Salminen, coordinator of Nice Hearts, and Kim Smouter, director of the European Network Against Racism (ENAR). This podcast is hosted by Seden Anlar and produced by the New Europeans Initiative, a project of the Migration Policy Group. Funding for the podcast is provided by the Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values programme of the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only.
