Since this has been hardly communicated so far: The 15th Global Forum on #Migration and #Development #GFMD Summit has been moved forward on rather short notice and will now take place from 9 to 13 June, with Preparatory Days on 9 and 10 June in Barranquilla, #Colombia.
Starting now: Two days of - virtual - thematic dialogues for the Colombian #GFMD scheduled for the second half of 2025 - there still has been no specific date announced. Today's focus is on ##women & #development, children & youth, #media & culture
