AlterNatives : the changing face of Europe

Abstract

What will Singapore be in 50 years' time with 6.5 million people of different nationalities and cultures? Will we have enough room physically and emotionally to accept these newcomers? Such questions can only be answered - perhaps by peering into a crystal ball. We aim to accomplish this by looking to Europe, a continent that has been battling with migration for far longer than Singapore has, to draw from their experiences. Using the perspectives of both the natives and immigrants, our feature seeks to highlight how the immigration situation is changing Europe's social fabric and sculpting a new cultural landscape. Will Singapore react the same way to immigration too? AlterNatives brings you the changing face of Europe, a thought-provoking investigation into dealing with outsiders.
