To stay, migrate or return? Placing the Welsh experience in a comparative context

Online workshop to be held over Zoom

You are warmly invited to attend this online workshop that will discuss recent research on youth out-migration. The presentations will focus on a range of European cases and will offer an opportunity to consider how the Welsh Experience of youth out-migration compares and how can this inform the work of the ARFOR programme.

The workshop is organised by Aberystwyth University’s Centre for Welsh Politics and Society and Wavehill in partnership with ARFOR.
