How We Work

Our Integrated Model

Our work intentionally links research, training, and advisory. We do not treat these as separate silos.

  • Research informs training content

  • Training strengthens institutional practice

  • Advisory work embeds learning into strategy and policy

 

This integrated approach ensures that evidence does not remain static, but actively contributes to organisational capability and systemic change.

Centering Lived Experience, Delivering Systemic Change

Participatory Design

We co-develop research questions with migrant grassroots groups, because they know the solutions their communities need.

Rigorous + Radical Analysis

Blending quantitative data with community narratives to expose hidden biases in policies.

Actionable Dissemination

Turning findings into toolkits, workshops, and policy briefs that empower change makers.

We are a migrant-led research, consultancy, and
training agency advancing racial justice and human rights for marginalised communities across Europe.

 

Through participatory research, policy advisory, and capacity-building programs, we empower governments, NGOs, and grassroots movements to challenge systemic racism in migration, health, and integration
systems centring migrant and refugee voices as agents of change.

Our Commitment to Inclusion & Learning

Inclusion Through Practice, Not Rhetoric

Inclusion is reflected not only in what we research, but in how we build capacity, transfer knowledge, and support professional development. Our training programmes are designed to support reflective practice, institutional accountability, and sustainable learning.
