Event Details

Beyond the Civil Society Days process linked to the GFMD, the PGA provides an independent space for dialogue, assessment of critical migration developments, and strategizing. We expect participants to come from all the global regions, and as in previous PGA's, we will enjoy the inclusion of many local activists and advocates. The PGA is the space that links the local to the global.

The PGA program in Berlin will include plenaries, self-organized workshops, and strategy sessions for movement-building. This is a critical year for migrant movement building at the PGA as we strategize recommendations for the Global Compact on Migration in 2017-2018. UN member states will negotiate and adopt the Global Compact on Migration in 2018 -- setting the framework for migration governance and policies for decades to come. This high level action shows how important migration issues have become on the international stage.
