The project focuses on six European countries (France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) with a triple objective: 1) at the academic level, to understand the processes of narrative production, their impact and their mutual interaction; 2) at the political level, provide empirical evidence to formulate and design policies and recommendations to address populist narratives and symbolic policies in the field of migration and integration processes; 3) At the social level, create spaces for dialogue between different actors involved (including migrants themselves) in the production of narratives, as well as encourage the exchange of good practices.
