Increasing migration to Europe is one the major themes in the media these days. The risks that refugees encounter while trying to make their way to Europe, their precarious situation and the problem of housing them in accommodation that is often grossly inadequate have repeatedly given rise to confrontations and debates. While, apart from applying an increasingly rigorous closed-door policy, the European Union has so far failed to find an adequate answer, the number of initiatives that are searching for concrete solutions at local level is growing constantly. In cooperation with IG Architektur and the Architekturzentrum Wien, in the context of its annual meeting Architektur ohne Grenzen Austria is organising a discussion on joint proactive strategies at European level.

Admission free!
