European Forum Alpbach in cooperation with the Austrian Integration Fund
There are now more people on the move than ever before. Migration has become an integral part of our globalised world. Is a set of constant values the key to tackling the challenges of this age of migration? What is the importance of values for a flourishing society? Does the integration of immigrants benefit from a common framework of rules? How can we improve the relationship between migrants and the receiving society? What are the transatlantic experiences concerning diversity? Renowned international experts and the Alpbach audience will discuss these and other questions in an interactive format.
