During its summer session on 26-30 June 2017, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will devote the whole day of 28 June to four different reports on migration: comprehensive responses to the refugee crisis; transit migration across the Mediterranean; migration as an opportunity for development; and integration in times of critical pressure. Other activities during the session will include: a “living library” to engage in dialogue with refugees and NGOs organised with the European Youth Centre; “Clouds Over Sidra”, a 3-D virtual experience of the Zaatari Refugee Camp through the eyes of a 12-year- old girl; and a presentation of the Policy Lab for Inclusive Integration of the Intercultural Cities programme, with the participation of the mayors of Palermo (Sicily - Italy) and Bergen (Norway).
