Millennium Fellowship Project: Stories in Motion
Our project focused on creating an investigative research report on the Franco-Italian border focusing on the migration crisis in the region through regular border permanence. It included articles on relevant news and developments surrounding the border, especially as the city of Ventimiglia continues to expand commercial development. We also included testiomonies from our border permanence project, where we conducted interviews at the border and collected data on who gets pushed back and why. We then compiled this information into a gallery which we exhibited on our campus, sharing stories to shed light on the people behind the statistics.
About the Millennium Fellow
Francesca Di Muro is a political science and humanities student at Sciences Po Paris University in the Menton Campus, Cote d'Azur, France. Francesca is passionate about how single factors can shape collective behaviors, leading to global phenomena and movements. Individual actions are far more important than is commonly thought. As a student of the Menton Campus, located near the franco-italian border where migrants daily trying to reach France from Italy are being rejected, much of her interests focus on migration and humanitarian crisis. Through her project, she hopes to help the region become more aware of the humanitarian crisis happening just few kilometres away, wishing for a series of individual actions that can lead to a movement of solidarity and global aid.
