Furthermore, there appears to be a split within existing migration research between those that focus on international migration and others that concentrate on residential mobility or internal migration. both types of migration can be intertwined and therefore, my research considers both types of migration simultaneously to look at what factors cause Poles to decide to relocate within the European Union and what motivations drive their movements within Britain.
As part of my Data Impact Fellowship I am canada rcs data planning to organise a workshop that discusses how the Polish communities’ future migration decisions may (or may not) have changed following Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. The wider tentative political environment has placed migrants in a precarious position and local engagement would highlight specific local concerns and needs. The outcomes of the workshop could enable the local community to determine the types of support and programs they can develop to assist Poles and other EU migrants.
