Join us on Wednesday, 17 June, from 14:00 to 15:30 CET for a webinar exploring the latest trends in the criminalisation of movement and solidarity across Europe – and what this means for civic space and the rule of law.

What we’ll discuss:

📌 key findings from PICUM’s 2025 report on the criminalisation of solidarity with migrants, produced as part of the WING project;

📌 the growing use of counter-smuggling legislation to criminalise migrants themselves, with insights from researchers who conducted national-level studies and trial monitoring;

📌 the connection between criminalisation trends in the area of migration and broader civic space trends, including the institutionalisation of attacks against civil society organisations.
 

With input from:

🎙️ Guia Gilardoni, Fondazione ISMU (Iniziative e Studi sulla Multietnicità) (WING Project coordinator)
🎙️ Silvia Carta, PICUM
🎙️ Aarti J Narsee, European Civic Forum
🎙️ Richard Braude, Arci Porco Rosso
🎙️ Spyros Galinos, Community Peacemaker Teams – Aegean Migrant Solidarity
🎙️ Border Violence Monitoring Network

The webinar will be held in English, with interpretation to Italian.

Registration deadline: Tuesday 16 June 23:59 CET. Registered participants will receive the Zoom link in the morning of the webinar.
