This report presents the results of an exploratory research project titled 'Bring your Voice to the World Café! Identifying Migrants' Research Priorities'. In partnership with 'Our City Hub' (a centre for migrants in York run by migrants), a team of researchers from York St John University organised a World Café to discuss migrants' perspectives on what they think researchers should prioritise in research. Based on the voices of 19 migrants, we identified current challenges faced by the migrant community living in York, recommendations on what type of research is important/relevant to them, and how they want to be involved in future research. Challenges are mostly related to language barriers and negative views about migrants, which seem to create several constraints in relation to employment, access to healthcare, housing, and education. Participants identified insufficient support and services related to medicine and healthcare, transport and mobility, childcare, free and accessible English courses, and lack of opportunities for personal and professional development. In terms of research, participants suggested the need for research that is co-produced in collaboration with migrant communities and that recognises the diversity within the community.

Abstract

This report presents the results of an exploratory research project titled 'Bring your Voice to the World Café! Identifying Migrants' Research Priorities'. In partnership with 'Our City Hub' (a centre for migrants in York run by migrants), a team of researchers from York St John University organised a World Café to discuss migrants' perspectives on what they think researchers should prioritise in research. Based on the voices of 19 migrants, we identified current challenges faced by the migrant community living in York, recommendations on what type of research is important/relevant to them, and how they want to be involved in future research. Challenges are mostly related to language barriers and negative views about migrants, which seem to create several constraints in relation to employment, access to healthcare, housing, and education. Participants identified insufficient support and services related to medicine and healthcare, transport and mobility, childcare, free and accessible English courses, and lack of opportunities for personal and professional development. In terms of research, participants suggested the need for research that is co-produced in collaboration with migrant communities and that recognises the diversity within the community.
