Migration remains one of the most debated issues in Europe today. It’s everywhere in the public conversation, often reduced to a dividing line between openness and closure, welcome and rejection. And yet, including newly arrived people – whether they are refugees, asylum seekers or exiled individuals – means paving the way for more cohesion, creativity and democratic vitality across our societies.

At SINGA, we’re active in six European countries: Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, Luxembourg and Switzerland. This international presence gives us a unique vantage point to observe migration dynamics on the ground, public policies being implemented, and above all, local responses – sometimes inspiring, often contrasting.

A report to better understand, debate and take action

It’s from these realities that we decided to publish a new report: “Migration & Inclusion: A European Overview.”

A clear, well-documented and accessible document that explores:

  • Political trends across Europe
  • Key data on migration and inclusion
  • Field realities experienced by our teams
  • Concrete initiatives that prove another model is possible

Even in a context of pushback, despite over 2,000 km of walls built at European borders, solutions are emerging. Alliances between public institutions, businesses and civil society are making inclusion not only desirable – but possible.

 

📊 The report highlights, among other things:

  • Bold political approaches, like in Spain, where migration is publicly recognised as a driver of prosperity
  • Effective inclusion tools, such as swift access to the job market or language courses paired with employment programmes, in Germany and Luxembourg
  • Emergency responses that have proven their efficiency, like the reception of people fleeing Ukraine – showing that with political will, a different kind of welcome is achievable
  • The report also shows how each country approaches migration: some choose inclusion, others implement exclusion policies that make the journey of new arrivals more difficult

A historic crossroads for Europe

On this 9th of May 2025, Europe Day, our report stands as a call to make a collective choice:

➡️ Continue feeding fear, paralysis and exclusion?
➡️ Or change course towards a Europe that lives up to its values of solidarity, dignity and justice?

This report doesn’t claim to have all the answers. But it does offer insights, inspiring examples, and above all – a compass for those who, across the continent, believe in an inclusive Europe.
