Webinar: ‘From Virtual Walls to Digital Bridges? Technology in Migrant Pathways and Integration’

Description

As digitalisation in migration management advances, new opportunities and pitfalls emerge for migrants navigating both physical and digital borders. While digital tools offer potential benefits, they can inadvertently create barriers, leading to exclusion and exploitation.

In this webinar, Amanda Alencar and Andrew Fallone will present findings from two Prague Process publications that explore these complexities. Dr Alencar will share insights on how digital tools aid migrant integration and challenges to achieving true inclusion. Mr Fallone will present a critical analysis of digital migration management, revealing how opaque processes and delays create “digital borders,” that fuel opportunistic economies. The two speakers will jointly examine managing expectations of technology in migration and explore balancing national interests with migrant needs.
