Science on Tap: Migration – Myth vs Reality

What to expect Drawing on research from Erasmus University Rotterdam, Asya will help us separate fact from fiction, unpacking the stories, assumptions and political narratives that shape how we think about migration. Together, we'll explore what migration really looks like in everyday life, why certain groups are often stereotyped, and how these narratives influence the way we live together in our cities. The conversation goes beyond migration alone. Whether you're new to a city or have lived here your whole life, experiences of exclusion and belonging affect us all. We'll explore where these patterns come from, how they show up in daily life, and what a more inclusive city could look like in practice. Expect fresh perspectives, thought-provoking conversation and plenty of room for questions. No prior knowledge required, just curiosity and an openness to hear different viewpoints.
