Migration Matters e.V.

About us

Migration Matters e.V. is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2016 by four migrant women in response to media coverage about the so-called ‘refugee crisis’. Our mission became to help the public navigate and hold better conversations about complex issues related to migration and diversity. Through media productions, dialogue events, and trainings, our team makes research, evidence, and original perspectives on migration and diversity issues accessible to the public to encourage evidence-based debate and, ultimately, to combat increasing polarization and discrimination. We have produced over 150 videos on topics ranging from the relationship between migration and climate change to integration and diversity and migrant lives during the pandemic that feature academic experts, practitioners, the public, and those with lived experience. We also design, organize, and participate regularly in events that promote dialogue with various target audiences.
