The Simmons Center&rsquo;s fall symposium will address Global Migration. Our panelists will discuss the root causes and disruptive factors contributing to displacement and migration, the challenges faced by those seeking safe haven, and the many &ndash; often conflicting &ndash; policy imperatives dictating their paths. We will examine how global development and investment provide alternatives to permanent migration. And, we will explore the services provided in receiving countries including legal obligations, resettlement services, and case management.&nbsp; For those working in international development, how does your work support viable, healthy, and safe communities with sufficient opportunity and sense of belonging that inspire people to stay? From root causes to resettlement, we hope this gathering will provide a deeper understanding of the multifaceted and complex migration field, helping us each view our work through a broader lens.&nbsp; Simmons Center for Global Chicago is a project of Global Philanthropy Partnership
