Voices and Insights – brought to you by clavis
We have gathered some of the voices participating in the IMCB22 by inviting members of the Pre-Working Groups, speakers, and symposium organisers of the conference to share their current work and insights. Furthermore, the editorial team has collected insights on-location, showcasing the variety of topics discussed during the conference by bringing original quotes from the conference and personal summaries from a selection of workshops to our readers. Given the sheer number of workshops, we could only cover a selection of all the topics, products and project results discussed and presented. This reader is brought to you by the editorial team of the magazine clavis, a publication dedicated to the field of labour market integration of migrants, published by the German Central Agency for Continuing Vocational Education and Training in the Skilled Crafts. It is financed by the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) in the context of the funding program “Integration through Qualification.” The 25th International Metropolis Conference Berlin was organised by the BMAS in close collaboration with Metropolis International, and we are very grateful for this opportunity. We would like to thank the IMCB’s Taskforce and Felicitas Hillmann from the Networking Unit Paradigm Shift at Technische Universität Berlin for their support in the production of this volume. Finally, of course, we would like to thank all authors and contributors for their dedicated cooperation. We hope you enjoy reading through the voices and insights as much as we enjoyed gathering them.
