MEET THE TEAM
Network for Migration Matters (NMM) is an organisation which brings together people from across the globe who are interested in migration matters through our blog, webinar series and links to online resources.
The platform takes a unique interdisciplinary and international approach, enabling those from different countries and sectors to connect, share experiences and ideas, and learn from each other in ways they would not have been able to if a narrower approach were taken.
We are primarily focused on migration matters which also engage human rights issues but, on occasion we explore other migration topics.
Issues of particular focus include asylum, refugees, modern slavery, sex trafficking, victims of torture, immigration detention, discrimination and the practical barriers or access to justice issues facing migrants during the legal process, for example changes to legal aid funding, judicial infrastructure, or interpreting services. We are also interested in infectious disease epidemiology and the health inequalities faced by migrants and refugees.
We are very excited to announce the launch of NMM Creative Arts, a multi-disciplinary platform designed to help people engage with migration matters through the arts. We believe that issues surrounding migration need not be limited to being discussed in a purely academic setting. Therefore, we wanted to use creative projects to provide a voice for migrants as well as raise awareness of some of the difficult issues and circumstances experienced by these individuals. We’ve got lots of exciting projects in the pipeline including comedy and clowning workshops, drama classes, as well as poetry and art competitions. We will be announcing the rest of our forthcoming projects very soon so make sure to keep an eye on our website and social media channels for news!
The NMM Creative Arts programme is curated by actress and writer Sophie Fox.
