What if Europe ensured a dignified reception of migrants, as soon as they enter the territory? It is up to us to demand respect for fundamental rights (food, health, housing, education and work) and greater solidarity between Member States!
If you have not yet signed the citizens’ initiative for a dignified reception of migrants in Europe,
it takes two minutes on the website of the European Commission : eci.ec.europa.eu
What are our objectives?
We need to collect 1 million signatures across Europe to make two very concrete demands to the European Commission:
Make binding
in the Member States reception standards in terms of food, health, housing, education and work, which guarantee asylum seekers dignified living conditions, comparable throughout the Union.
Etablish a new mechanism
for the distribution of asylum seekers in the European Union, based on their free will and on effective solidarity between Member States (revise the Dublin Regulation)
Supporting our European Citizens’ Initiative will help to give voice to all those who defend the principle of human dignity as one of the founding values of the European Union. Together, we will be able to lobby for the enlargement and strengthening of the fundamental rights of migrants in Europe and show our support to European associations working for the reception of migrants.

Who are we ?
Supporting the European Citizens’ Initiative for a dignified reception of migrants means responding to the humanist appeal launched by a group of students from the Rosa Parks secondary school in Rennes in the autumn of 2021. A cry from the heart for the dignity of each person on the paths of exile towards the old continent!
Within the framework of an unprecedented participatory approach, the schoolchildren, affected by the conditions of reception of migrants in their country, have convinced the inhabitants of the city of Rennes to get involved at European level. Today, hundreds of European citizens and representatives of associations have responded to the call of the City of Rennes, the Maison internationale de Rennes and its partners (Maison de quartier Villejean and MédiaParks), who are behind the European Citizens’ Initiative for a dignified reception of migrants.
