We have asked for papers that will trace the reasons for migration, including push factors that range from poverty to forced eviction, and pull factors such as access to education and new economic opportunities. We also focus on urban living conditions and the basis for social and political organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Central in the Indigenous struggle has been the close ties to the land and the quest for control over traditional territories. Still, an increasing number of Indigenous people live outside their traditional land and\/or derive their means of livelihood from sources other than customary land use. A central question will then be to explore how indigenous identity is expressed and maintained in new urban settings. The speakers will in different ways address the questions above.<\/p>\n<p>Among our speakers is Irma Alicia Vel\u00e1squez Nimatuj who was born in the city of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. From 1986 to 1997 she worked as a journalist and later as editor of the weekly newspaper El Nuevo Quetzalteco in the city of Quetzaltenango. In 1998 she entered the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin, and received a Master\u2019s degree in Anthropology. Then she enrolled in the Ph.D. Program in Anthropology. She conducted the dissertation field research in the Departments of San Marcos and Retalhuleu in Guatemala.<\/p>\n<p>Another of our speakers is Geraldine Doco from the Philippines. She is Regional Council member in the Cordillera Peoples Alliance. Geraldine Doco is Spokesperson and writer on major issues and concerns, and situation of urban poor communities in Baguio city. Both as an activist and writer Geraldine Doco has been concerned with Indigenous urban poor communities and on Indigenous People\u2019s rights and interest.<\/p>\n<p>From South Africa: Dr Petro Esterhuyse an anthropologist from the University of the Free State, with experience in research on migration and identity; Priscilla De Wet an indigenous activist and academic, with a Masters in Indigenous Studies from\u00a0 University of Troms\u00f8 and currently involved with the KhoeSan Culture and Memory Project at the University of Free State; Jean Burgess a pioneer activist, detainee during apartheid and leader of the Gonoqua Khoekhoe in Eastern Cape will focus on the situation of the Khoekhoe who were amongst the first Indigenous Peoples to experience urbanisation. The speakers will present different aspects from both an academic and an activist point of view.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForum for Development Cooperation with Indigenous Peoples\u201d was established in 2000, and is a meeting place for researchers, development workers, administrators and activists working with indigenous peoples\u2019 issues, and where they can share experiences from their work with different development projects related to indigenous peoples. The Forum has a Board located with the Centre for S\u00e1mi Studies at the University of Troms\u00f8, with external representation from other research institutions, Indigenous advocacy NGOs and the S\u00e1mi Council.\u00a0 The Forum provides a focus on national and transnational strategies concerning indigenous peoples, and how this influences the capacity and ability of indigenous peoples to shape and control their own development.<\/p>\n<p>The conference program and information will be published on this homepage: <a title=\"http:\/\/www.sami.uit.no\/forum\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sami.uit.no\/forum\/\">http:\/\/www.sami.uit.no\/forum\/<\/a>.

This annual publication analyses recent developments in migration movements and policies in these countries. It underlines the growing importance of inflows of highly qualified workers, temporary workers and students. It highlights the increased immigration from India, China,\u00a0Eastern Europe and Africa, and confirms the tendency towards the feminisation of this movement. This edition focuses on the employment situation and the participation rate of immigrants, particularly on jobs in the services sector.<\/p>\n<p>This publication also explores policies to improve the management of migration flows, especially those aiming to increase the selection of immigrant workers to respond labour market needs.\u00a0 It describes measures taken to facilitate the integration of immigrants from their arrival up until they gain full citizenship. International co-operation to improve border control and to combat irregular immigration is analysed in detail. In addition, the report evaluates the impact of the enlargement of the European Union on the flow of immigrant workers into OECD countries. It highlights the growing attention given to the links between migration and development, notably in the context of regional economic integration.<\/p>\n<p>The reader will also find in this publication:<\/li>\n<li>Two special chapters on topical issues. The first addresses the challenge of matching immigrants\u2019 education with employment, with the aim of adding value to human capital. The second analyses, for the first time, the importance of the presence of immigrants in the health sector of OECD countries. It also describes the migration policies put in place in OECD countries to recruit this highly qualified labour force.<\/li>\n<li>Country notes, together with standardised tables, describing recent developments in migration movements and policies.<\/li>\n<li>A statistical annex containing the latest data on foreign and foreign-born population, migration flows and naturalisations.More <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/document\/25\/0,3343,en_2649_33931_38797017_1_1_1_1,00.html\">information.. <\/a><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/org.uib.no\/imer\/img\/border_gray.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>New FRA report on racism and xenophobia in the EU<\/h3>\n<p>The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) published on 28<br \/>\nAugust a new report on racism and xenophobia inside the Member States of<br \/>\nthe EU. The report finds that unequal treatment continues in employment,<br \/>\nhousing and education. Figures for racist crime in 2005 and 2006 are up<br \/>\nin a number of EU countries. Data collection systems remain inadequate<br \/>\nto support the fight against racism.
