and Collaboration!
The Migration Impact Network is a vibrant community in which professionals with migrant backgrounds across various disciplines unite to share insights, build strategies, and drive change. Our mission is to empower migrant communities in Europe by fostering leadership and enhancing their voices in policy-making and public life!
Why MIN?
In today’s global landscape, fostering inclusive political participation and creating leadership opportunities for people with migrant backgrounds is vital to building diverse, representative societies. However, according to the MIPEX index, political participation is the weakest link in global integration policies, scoring just 25/100. This reality highlights the urgent need for platforms where the voices of those with migration backgrounds are heard and valued.
MIN is that platform—a dynamic space where professionals from diverse fields and migrant backgrounds come together to exchange ideas, collaborate on projects, and amplify their collective influence in shaping policies and leading change.
Our Vision
At MIN, we believe that a diverse society must be reflected in its leadership. By creating a network that champions knowledge exchange and collaboration, we aim to:
- Increase Representation: Ensure more migrants occupy leadership roles in various sectors.
- Enhance Advocacy: Develop and advocate for inclusive policies that represent all communities.
- Strengthen Community: Build a robust and diverse community of leaders driving positive change.
Our Approach
Capacity Building: Empower our members with skills and tools through workshops, mentoring, and tailored training programs.
Network Penetration: Connect members to strategic networks, providing access to influential platforms, retreats, and strategic events.
Collaboration: Facilitate partnerships and collaborative initiatives that drive advocacy, co-create projects, and strengthen impact.

“The Migration Impact Network provides emerging migrant leaders from various walks of life with a platform to amplify their impact. My experience as a participant in the Migration Impact Network was both insightful and challenging. I had the opportunity to meet highly motivated individuals who are making significant strides in the migrant space across Europe, and I gained invaluable insights from our shared and lived experiences. As the network shifts into action, I feel incredibly fortunate to be contributing to its direction as an alumnus. This is truly a network of doers!”
