OWiM - MMO

Multiculturalism and Migration Observatory - Obserwatorium Wielokulturowości i Migracji (MMO-OWIM) is a joint initiative of the Municipality of Cracow and Cracow University of Economics. The key objective of the MMO-OWIM is to analyse migration processes and multicultural changes in urban space. More information about the project can be found on www.owim.uek.krakow.pl

Lublin odgrywa szczególną rolę na mapie działań pomocowych w kryzysie humanitarnym
spowodowanym wojną w Ukrainie. Jest to z jednej strony przystanek dla tych, którzy jadą dalej –
pierwsza baza oraz punkt poszukiwania logistycznych rozwiązań. Z drugiej strony – miejsce pobytu
dla wielu Ukraińców decydujących się pozostać tu ze względu na istniejące sieci migracyjne, czy też
ze względu na bliskość Ukrainy. W tym kontekście istotna jest także rola całego województwa, a szczególnie jego obszarów przygranicznych.
Chcielibyśmy przedstawić to lubelskie doświadczenie w odniesieniu do zaangażowanych w działania pomocowe aktorów z różnych obszarów i poziomów: centralnego, samorządowego, pozarządowego. Kluczowym elementem krajobrazu miejskiego pomocy jest Lubelski Komitet Pomocy Ukrainie, stanowiący platformę współpracy samorządu i organizacji społecznych. Także na poziomie wojewódzkim na szczególną uwagę zasługuje aktywność samorządów i współpraca z organizacjami lokalnych społeczności, m.in. Kołami Gospodyń Wiejskich czy jednostkami Ochotniczej Straży Pożarnej.
Prezentowane wyniki pochodzą z badań realizowanych w ramach działającego w Instytucie Socjologii UMCS Zespołu Badawczego MigLab: Procesy migracyjne w perspektywie lokalnej, w tym m.in. z projektu „Wielopoziomowe zarządzanie kryzysem humanitarnym wywołanym przez rosyjską agresję na Ukrainę na przykładzie działań w województwie lubelskim (PL) i obwodzie wołyńskim (UA)” (Granty Interwencyjne NAWA).

Since the 1970s Senegal is a country of intense internal and international migrations (15 million inhabitants/over 2.5 million Senegalese living in diaspora). Today 41% of all Senegalese emigrants are living in Europe. Also in Senegal migration is a synthesis of different, interlinked motivations, attitudes and practices with an intense interrelationship between the internal and international migration processes. Moreover, despite the recent changes, the capital region of Dakar still remains the most attractive place for Senegalese youth. It forms an important step in the internal and international migration routes. Historically this urban area has been a “stepping stone” to destinations abroad for many potential international migrants coming from villages and small towns in Senegal. This region is therefore a very interesting case to capture the complexity of Senegalese migration trajectories and temporalities.

Based on the research conducted in different quartiers of Dakar among people coming from the regions of Saint Louis and Matam as well as from the regions of the Groundnut Basin (historical areas of outmigration as Dourbel, Thiés, Fatick and Kaolak), the aim of the seminar is to discuss how migration is the outcome of fragmented trajectories that take place in different spaces and times, involving both the propension to move as well as to stay put.
The seminar will focus on the dynamics from the point of view of the decision-making processes to migrate (either internally or internationally) or to stay in Dakar. The speakers thus will explore motivations and aspirations of migrants, the role of Dakar in the migration process, and how the urban experience often has become a steppingstone encouraging or an anchor preventing further international moves. This will be discussed especially in relation to Europe as a favoured destination: the perceptions, social representations and attractiveness of Europe. The temporality of migration and the socio-cultural and economic factors are at stake, shedding light on the complexity and fluid nature of the propensities to go abroad.

Three weeks after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, veteran journalist Tamar Jacoby arrived in Krakow intending to volunteer, maybe ladle soup or unpack boxes. Instead, at the encouragement of JCC Krakow, she began a series of interviews with Ukrainian refugees. Displaced: The Ukrainian Refugee Experience captures their stories. Every story in the book is unique – one individual’s painful journey. But together, they add up to a collective portrait of the Ukrainian refugee experience. The book launch provided space for discussion of Ukrainian refugees’ diverse experiences in Poland.
The seminar used personal stories from the book as a starting point for a discussion. What triggered some people but not others – including, often, their families – to leave Ukraine? How do refugees perceive the Polish reception and integration mechanisms created after February 2022? What worked and didn’t work in the Polish approach to refugees t – an approach that offered little cash assistance but encouraged civil society to come to the fore? What factors appear to be influencing the refugees’ decisions about next steps – whether to stay in Poland, return to Ukraine or move on to a third country? What lessons, if any, do the last seven months offer about how to help those who remain in Poland – people moving beyond resettlement to integration?

The brutal invasion of Russia on Ukraine that started in February 2022 has led to massive scale humanitarian and refugee crisis in the region. As a result of it Poland, which hosted before 2022 one of the largest Ukrainian immigrant populations in Europe, has transformed almost overnight from a country with largely economic immigration to a country hosting one of the largest refugee populations in the world. According to estimations, the number of Ukrainian refugees in Poland is over 2,2 million persons (UMP 2022) in addition to around 1,3 million economic migrants who had come to Poland before 2022 (GUS 2020). The vast majority of refugees sought safety and security in major Polish cities. It was mainly at the municipal level that the influx of war refugees from Ukraine was managed. Krakow’s foreign population has at least quadrupled and currently every 5th resident of the city is a foreigner.
Registry data and existing research provide very limited information about the refugee population in Poland. Thus, Multiculturalism and Migration Observatory and Centre for Advanced Studies of Population and Religion in collaboration with the University of Vienna and the Multiculturalism Centre in Krakow decided to conduct a survey amongst 500 refugees from Ukraine to help to answer some of the most urgent questions. The survey was carried out in the form of pen and paper personal interviews by trained Ukrainian researchers between 5th May and 15th of June 2022 in numerous locations where Ukrainian refugees gather (among others in Tauron Arena – PESEL and UNHCR registration spot, Galeria Plaza - Szafa Dobra, Ukrainian Consulate in Krakow and World Kitchen on the Main Railway Station and Support Centres on Daszyńskiego Street). 55% of the questionnaires were filled in Ukrainian and 45% in the Russian language. The seminar will shed light on the key findings from the survey.
