Round table discussion, touching on the cultural impact of the recent influx of East European migrants.
Large numbers of East European migrants have changed the dynamics of local communities across the UK. Scotland has experienced a particularly strong influx in recent years, mainly of Polish nationals, many of whom came as entire families, who lead the statistical tables in numbers. This roundtable discussion will look at how people, who may or may not have thought they were coming on a temporary basis, have ended up staying. Chaired by Professor Karin Friedrich and hosted by Dr Daniela Sime and Professor Rebecca Kay the discussion aims to enhance the ability of communities to raise awareness and adapt policies to the local context.
Part of the Being Human festival of arts and humanities. For more information on the festival please see:
