FuturMig Network Meeting at Museum Friedland

The FuturMig team met at Museum Friedland to discuss migration and the future: narratives, temporal perspectives, and implications for education. The Real and Future Lab promotes inclusive perspectives and new visions.

On March 6, the interdisciplinary FuturMig team gathered at  Museum Friedland to discuss the first empirical results from the subprojects of the research network. The focus was on how migration and the future are discussed across different fields of practice and research, which temporal concepts are conveyed, and what consequences this has—especially for educational practice.

In times of a rightward political shift and shrinking funding, educational actors need spaces and resources to collaboratively develop alternative, inclusive perspectives on migration societies together with migrant and non-migrant groups. The Real and Future Lab—a collaborative project between Museum Friedland and the  Center for Global Migration Studies (CeMig) at the University of Göttingen—offers interdisciplinary interventions, experiments, and artistic-creative dialogue formats. Its aim is to reflect on the culture of remembrance surrounding flight and displacement in Germany and to develop new visions for migration futures.

Further information and upcoming dates can be found on the website of the research network  Futures of Migration.
