Often someone’s contribution is the most visible when it’s missing. From June 20 to July 31, Caritas’ social media campaign #whatishome focuses on the gap migrants would leave in countries of origin and destination if there were no migration. We will be sharing stories and information to show how much impact migrants have on our personal and professional lives, society, culture and so many other aspects of everyday life.
Caritas Europa’s campaign is part of the MIND project which also aims to influence the EU on migration in a positive way. Help us by sharing one of these tweets:
I want to live in a European Union that ensures human rights for all, including migrants and refugees!

In the EU 13% of key workers (e.g. teachers and agricultural workers) are migrants. Let’s ensure that all migrants have access to health care and a stable legal status

campaign UPDATES
Our Common Home series is out!
Building on the experience of the Caritas network working with migrants and refugees, these pioneering publications articulate our vision on migration and development.
Our 11 national reports are available online.
Our regional publication Common Home: migration and development in Europe and beyond is the last report. It is based on the findings, testimonies and good practices of the national studies, and on the analysis of European and international statistical databases and literature. Read it here.
#whatisHOME
is a Europe-wide campaign focusing on the reasons behind migration. It aims to create a broader understanding of why people move from one place to another and how the lack of sustainable development forces some people to do so.
