The Library at Friends House will be the venue for the UK launch of the new QCEA Handbook.
Migration is one of the most defining global challenges of our time. Yet, dominant approaches to migration governance too often rely on reactive, securitised, and exclusionary frameworks.
Moving with Dignity: A Positive Peace Approach to Migration is a new handbook developed by the Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA) that proposes a fresh paradigm: one rooted in the concept of positive peace. The handbook highlights both theory and practice, offering a roadmap to more just, inclusive, and peaceful migration governance. It includes promising practices in countries of origin, transit, and destination.
During the event, Dr. Majbritt Lyck-Bowen, author of the handbook, will present the core concepts of Positive Peace and how they can be practically applied to the migration context. We will also hear about some promising practices, followed by roundtable discussions with practitioners and policymakers on applying the approach to tackle root causes of forced migration, reduce harm and risks along migration routes, and foster inclusive systems and practices in countries of destination. At the networking reception, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with colleagues across institutions and sectors.
