Migration

About this theme

This theme covers topics relating to strengthening cohesion and communication, tackling isolation and supporting community engagement for migrant communities in the UK. Many Fellows have undertaken projects addressing this over the years including as part of our recent programme of Fellowships on migration, developed in partnership with The Linbury Trust, which ran during 2017-2019.

Blogs & conversations How rural Canada is rethinking migration

Keith Ruffles travelled across Canada to explore how rural communities are using migration to reverse population decline. Over five weeks, he visited six towns taking part in the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP), meeting with local coordinators, federal agencies, and migrants like Natalia and Mohammad, who shared their experiences of settling in Canada. In this blog, Keith reflects on what the UK could learn from Canada’s community-driven approach to migration, and how the Fellowship gave him the time, space, and connection to explore these issues in depth.
