Almost one in ten people living in the EU is a non-national, or in other words, a migrant. Migration is just the movement of humanity, the co-directors of the European Philanthropic Initiative for Migration tell me, when I have a chance to sit down with them both in Copenhagen, Denmark. When EPIM was founded in 2005 (back then the acronym stood for the European Programme for Integration and Migration) it was a pioneering organisation in the field of philanthropy for migration, pushing the sector to see migration as a whole-system issue. ‘If we were doing what we were doing right now and it was ten years ago, we’d be aceing it,’ co-director Hrishabh Sandilya told me, after a session at Philea he was running on labour, migration, and philanthropy. But it’s 2026, and the last decade has been one of growing intolerance of migration, alongside an increasingly siloed approach from the sector when it comes to the subject.
