AmityPoint Institute

📢 Join us in Amsterdam for a workshop on migration & policy

Is migration truly a “crisis,” or is it shaped by the way it’s presented in media and politics?

AmityPoint Institute invites you to an engaging and open workshop where we’ll explore:
• Media narratives and public perception
• The politics behind migration debates
• New perspectives and practical insights

📍 Hosted at Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof
🗓️ 21 June 2026
⏰ 14:00 – 18:00

We’re excited to be hosted by Buurtwerkplaats Noorderhof, a vibrant community space in Amsterdam.

🍽️ After the workshop, we’ll share dinner together — a great chance to connect, reflect, and continue the discussion in a relaxed setting.

👉 Limited spots available — reserve yours and feel free to share!

What actually drives foreign policy decisions?

We explored this in a recent workshop by looking at the US approach to Iran and Venezuela. Two very different cases, but the same underlying tension kept coming up. Energy interests and security concerns don’t always point in the same direction.

The discussion was honest, sometimes uncomfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. No easy answers, just better questions.

We wrote up a few reflections from the session. Link below

Hello🤗,
I’d like to invite a few of you who are interested in global politics to join us for a workshop this coming Sunday.

We’ll be discussing the evolving dynamics of U.S. foreign policy, focusing on a comparative case study of Iran and Venezuela; particularly how oil interests and security concerns shape intervention strategies.

Feel free to read and engage with this short piece:

Your thoughts and perspectives will really enrich the discussion.

If you’d like to attend, kindly inbox me to reserve a seat (and a plate of Kenyan food 😉).

Looking forward to a great conversation🤗
