MIX international online seminar series – easyRights: Supporting migrants’ access to their rights
Design is not often considered in the perspectives for addressing migrant rights. This presentation is therefore expected to trigger a debate not only on the solutions but also on how design can propose a strategy for reducing the gap between migrants and their own rights. Everyone working on migration rights from different disciplinary perspectives is invited to participate.

Description
Migrants in Europe are supported and included in the system of social services of the hosting country and within this, they should have access to a number of services, such as residence-related services, healthcare assistance, assistance with children, social issues, and job-finding. Of course, differences exist between countries, which cause also different conditions, but the common trait of their conditions in a different location is that they often find it hard to access those services, which means they have problems in the actualization of their rights. Such problems are often caused not only by language barriers but also by the organization and structure of services, that is often designed on criteria of organizational efficiency, rather than on citizens’ need. Indeed some of the problems migrants experience are often shared by local citizens.
This presentation will present the easyRights project and its strategy for reducing the gap between migrants and their own rights.
