Destination explores what it means to arrive in a new country, put down roots, and build a new life, addressing questions of belonging, identity, integration, cultural exchange, and social exclusion.

Arrival at a place does not mark the end of a migration journey. Rather, it is often the beginning of a new process of settling in, finding belonging, and discovering oneself. Experiences of exclusion, discrimination, stigma, and misunderstanding can coexist with moments of welcome, solidarity, and connection.

Destination explores what it means to arrive in a new country, settle in, and build a new life. The conversations in this session reflect on questions of identity, social participation, belonging, cultural exchange, and social exclusion, drawing on experiences from the Americas and Europe.
