This event is part of the series of events “Sanctuary Cities in Switzerland?”, which takes place in Zurich, Berne and Geneva. The speakers in these events outline the developments in urban migration policies in support of irregular migrants in

American, European and Swiss cities. The aim is to discuss the formulation and the effects of Sanctuary Cities and related urban migration policies and compare them with practical examples from the cities of Zurich, Berne and Geneva. 

In Berne we will discuss the concept of urban citizenship with the local activist Dr. Payal Parekh, who is a member of the civil society movement «Wir alle sind Bern». After the inputs of the speakers we will open the discussion.

The entry is free!
