In today’s episode, we discuss the idea of heritage languages and the importance of transmitting them. We discuss this topic with Jianwei Xu and Rik Vosters who are both working on a project that seeks to develop an online tool to help minority communities teach and maintain their heritage language.

Migration Talks - The importance of heritage languages and multilingualism in Belgium

Check out the "Migration Talks" podcast and their recent episode on the impact of migration narratives on EU policymaking, just in time before the EP elections this month.

In this episode, the "Migration Talks" team explores how migration narratives shape the upcoming European elections and influence policymaking in Brussels. These narratives are central to discussions and policies across Europe, especially as far-right parties amplify them as security threats for electoral gains. What are the prevailing migration narratives within the EU, and how do they impact the policymaking processes of the European Union? These and more questions will be answered by Florian Trauner, Co-director of BIRMM and Omar Ba who is a community organizer, activist and politician.
