why participate?

Why Participate? Migration is not just a global issue—it’s a local one. By sharing your experiences and insights, you ’ll contribute to a groundbreaking study that examines how international migration policies are reshaping peace, security, and everyday life in key transit areas. Your perspective can help policymakers and researchers better understand the on-the-ground realities of migration and the unintended consequences of current approaches. Together, we aim to bring local knowledge into global conversations about security, development, and human rights.

what does participation involve?

Participation includes a one-on-one interview with a member of our expert research team. Interviews typically last between 45–60 minutes and can be conducted in person or via Zoom, depending on your preference and availability.

We will ask about your observations, experiences, and perspectives on how migration has impacted your area. You are free to decline to answer any question, and you can end the interview at any time.

Your participation is entirely voluntary, and your identity will be kept confidential unless you choose otherwise.
