The project brings a justice-oriented perspective to the forefront of two policy areas: digitalisation and migration and asylum policy.&nbsp;The overall&nbsp;objective&nbsp;is to strengthen public debate&nbsp;between countries&nbsp;on fairness within EU digital and migration policies and to meaningfully integrate the views of citizens and stakeholders into the design of national and EU-level policy solutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">The project is structured as a&nbsp;one-way&nbsp;bottom-up consultation process. During the consultation phase, key justice challenges are mapped through citizen consultations and national stakeholder roundtables, followed by focus group discussions and international citizen consultations. In the engagement and dissemination phase, the findings are brought into wider public debate through participatory events and workshops, supported by media engagements. Additionally, an&nbsp;international collection of women\u2019s experience stories will be compiled to highlight&nbsp;issues with&nbsp;inequality&nbsp;in&nbsp;digitalisation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">In the advocacy phase, input from citizens and&nbsp;stakeholders is synthesized into two policy briefs with actionable recommendations (fair digital public services; fairer asylum policy). The results will be discussed in workshops with policymakers, and the project concludes with a conference in Brussels, where the findings and recommendations will be presented to EU-level stakeholders, journalists, and decision-makers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The overall\u00a0objective\u00a0is to strengthen public debate\u00a0between countries\u00a0on
