Our 'Migration Making Britain Great' launch events

Our 'Migration Making Britain Great' launch events

To launch our 'Migration Making Britain Great' project activities, Migrant Voice is kicking off 2024 with roundtables on how we can challenge the hostile rhetoric on migration.

'Migration Making Britain Great' is a new initiative in partnership with Show Racism the Red Card and IMIX to celebrate migration across the UK, and in particular the regions of the Northeast, West Midlands and Scotland.

Using education, facts and sporting role models, the initiative aims to challenge and address many of the myths surrounding migrants and celebrate the enormous contribution made by those who have made the UK their home.

We will launch our Migration Making Britain Great project activities with events in Birmingham on 25 January from 6-8pm  and in Glasgow on 8 February from 6-8pm

We will come together to discuss how to challenge the existing narratives around migration, and place migrants' experiences at the forefront of any discussions. We will be looking at, among other things, how we can use sports to tell different and positive stories of migration and challenge racism and xenophobia.

These are not just events for the sporty though. This is the start of an exciting time for a wide variety of activities which will show just how much immigration brings to the country, and why we should be celebrating it. 

Our roundtable events will be followed by a reception, with the location to be confirmed closer to the date.

We look forward to seeing you all there.
