Zusammenleben in hoch diversen sozialen Räumen

Study

Published 25.11.2025

Summary

Das Ziel der LOCALIZE-Studie war es, ein besseres Verständnis für die lebensweltlichen Realitäten und Dynamiken des Zusammenlebens verschiedener Bevölkerungsgruppen in städtischen Räumen zu gewinnen, die stark von sozialer Vielfalt und Zuwanderung geprägt sind. Zudem sollten Ansatzpunkte für Maßnahmen zur Förderung integrativer Dynamiken identifiziert werden. Dabei wurden drei zentrale Perspektiven betrachtet: die Lebenswelt der Anrainer:innen, die Dynamiken des Zusammenlebens sowie der integrationspolitische Kontext auf Stadt- und Stadtteilebene. Ziel war es, mögliche Zusammenhänge zwischen (halb-)öffentlichen Räumen, Integrationserfahrungen und sozialem Miteinander einerseits und der Relevanz integrationspolitischer Maßnahmen für das Zusammenleben andererseits zu beleuchten.

Die Feldforschung von LOCALIZE untersuchte daher zentrale Aspekte sozialer Integration in den drei Stadtteilen Salzburg-Lehen, Graz-Gries und Wien-Favoriten. Mithilfe der im Projekt entwickelten Untersuchungsinstrumente wurden diese systematisch beobachtet und hinsichtlich ihrer integrativen und desintegrativen Wirkungen analysiert.

Soziale Integration wurde dabei in Bezug auf zwei Dimensionen verstanden: (1) als der Grad der Einbeziehung von Individuen oder Gruppen in die soziale Ordnung vor Ort und (2) als die Art der Beziehungen, die diese Individuen und Gruppen miteinander aufbauen und pflegen. Die Untersuchung bezog sich auf alle Bewohner:innen und Anrainer:innen der drei Stadtteile und nicht ausschließlich auf bestimmte Untergruppen wie beispielsweise Migrant:innen.

Challenges and Opportunities for the Ratification and Popularisation of the African Union Free Movement Protocol

Study

Published 21.11.2025

Summary

This study explores the challenges and opportunities surrounding the ratification and popularisation of the African Union Free Movement Protocol (AU FMP). Drawing on lessons from the European Union and Africa’s Regional Economic Communities (RECs), it responds to the growing recognition among African Union (AU) Member States and RECs that the continent’s aspiration for deeper regional integration and socio-economic transformation cannot be fully realised without the free movement of persons. While political will to enhance mobility exists, practical implementation remains constrained by security concerns, socio-economic issues, and limited institutional and technical capacity.

Storytelling as strategic communication on migration

Study

Published 04.11.2024

Summary

As part of the EUROMED Migration (EMM) studies, in partnership with the European Union Institute Migration Policy Centre Observatory on Public Attitudes to Migration (OPAM), EMM is proud to give exclusive access to the publication ‘Storytelling as Strategic Communication on Migration.’ Practitioners regularly recommend storytelling as an effective means of strategic communication about migration. Storytelling is distinct from other forms of communication due to its ability to clear and retain attention, disarm critical thought, and provide an opportunity for the storyteller to demonstrate a large range of skills and thus enhance their credibility. Experimental evidence supports the notion that storytelling is more persuasive than, for example, appeals to authority using experts. This report provides the first review of the academic literature on the characteristics and effects of storytelling and how this might be best used for migration communication and outlines seven best practices according to these criteria and demonstrates them using examples.

Summary

This background report serves as a foundation within the framework of the Migration Information and Awareness Raising on the Risks of Irregular Migration in Iraq (MIRAMI) Project.

The project targets various groups, including potential migrants, returnees, families, female migrants, and influencers like community leaders and media representatives. In doing so, MIRAMI contributes to the Iraqi government's vision of sustainable reintegration for returnees, aligning with national strategies for migration management.
