| Migrations are a key
to change in both host societies and countries of origin. These changes should
not be seen as a threat to the identity of host societies, but rather as an enrichment
that will promote their development, as well as that of countries of origin. |
Public management is
essential for dealing with the complex nature of migratory flows. This management
must address all levels and include all those involved, from cities to countries
of origin. Migration policies based on policing concepts will not necessarily
solve the problems resulting from migratory flows. In addition to devising creative
approaches, there is a need to introduce strategies based on international cooperation
through bilateral and multilateral agreements.
Good practices
The Farmers in Solidarity Foundation of Catalonia presented a project being carried
out in conjunction with temporary workers who come to Catalonia for work. The
project promotes development initiatives in their communities of origin based
on the experience they have gained while working abroad.

The brain drain is one of the major
problems facing many developing countries, and leads to a loss of human and intellectual
capital. Nevertheless, it can also have positive effects for both host countries
and countries of origin, albeit in the long term. |
