In the course of the collective attempt to shut down its borders, the EU uses numerous means of deterrence to prevent people from seeking safety in Europe. The criminalisation of people on the move and those who are in solidarity with them has been a widespread strategy for years. In Italy, too, people are prosecuted under the charge of "aiding and abetting unauthorised entry".

The debate on migration is becoming increasingly polarised and politically instrumentalised. In a new series, borderline-europe is questioning widespread myths such as the supposed overburdening of the economy or the alleged increase in crime caused by migrants. Through evidence-based analyses and data-driven discussions, a differentiated, realistic understanding of migration is promoted and an informed dialogue is initiated, beyond misconceptions and stereotypes.

Our latest Italy magazine Streiflicht is here! In 'Kosmos Palermo', we look at the realities of life for migrants who come to Palermo, Sicily, and try to build a life in the city. In doing so, they repeatedly encounter hurdles. At the same time, there is a dense network of organizations in Palermo that try to support migrants in overcoming these challenges. Unfortunately "Spotlight Italy" is currently only available in german.

borderline-europe has been working on the external border in Sicily since 2009. We are often asked to give presentations on our findings from our work on the ground. We would now like to make two of these lectures, which we gave in Palermo and online in May 2024, available to other interested parties in this simple online format. Of course, it is not possible to explain all the processes involved in migration policy in detail in one lecture, but we would like to use this publication to provide at least a basic impression of the situation in Italy and Sicily in particular.
Sorry, only in German...
