This report examines five issue-raising assemblies and participatory lectures held by Infokolpa with partner organisations in Slovenia in 2023, focusing on the experiences of applicants for international protection who traversed the Balkan migration route, predominantly from Morocco. The assemblies aimed to co-create a counter-narrative to the securitization of borders and migration regime, advocating instead for inclusive societies. Discussions emphasized the complexity of migration drivers, which extend beyond conventional categorizations to include diverse and nuanced personal, socio-political and economic factors.
