Vision Europe Summit 2016: Summit Declaration
Building Common Ground: Towards strategic migration and refugee policies in Europe
At the end of the Vision Europe Summit 2016, a declaration was presented to the public.
The Vision Europe partners (including CASE) have agreed that a new approach to the migration situation is necessary. Action should be at all levels: global, European, national and local. The declaration draft, is based on four strategic directions and four main axes of policy recommendations:
A. Create political will to develop a forwardlooking EU strategy on migration.
B. Develop coherent and fair mechanisms for better managing migration flows.
C. Promote work and education focused integration that strengthens social belonging.
D. Mobilise the whole of society to promote inclusivity.
Vision Europe is a consortium of think tanks and foundations collaborating to address some of the most pressing public policy challenges facing Europe. Through research, publications and an annual summit, we aim to be a forum for debate and a source of recommendations to improve evidence-based policy making at both a national and EU level and to foster as appropriate European integration. Eight leading European foundations and think tanks are members of Vision Europe. The Convening Partners are:
BERTELSMANN STIFTUNG (GÜTERSLOH), BRUEGEL (BRUSSELS, CALOUSTE GULBENKIAN FOUNDATION (LISBON), CASE (WARSAW), CHATHAM HOUSE (LONDON), COMPAGNIA DI SAN PAOLO (TURIN), JACQUES DELORS INSTITUTE (PARIS), THE FINNISH INNOVATION FUND SITRA (HELSINKI)
