How Bertelsmann helped establish a welcome culture in Germany for the World Economic Forum - Part 1

The World Economic Forum of major international corporations has decisively promoted and influenced the global migration pact. The main aim of the Forum was to establish a positive image of migration in public - a welcome culture - because it wanted to gain access to a larger, cheaper labor force through migration promotion. I already had geschrieben, Now it's about who did it in Germany.

At least since 2009, the World Economic Forum has had a Global Agenda Council on Migration, one of whose tasks was to influence the United Nations migration policy in the interests of the corporations. The World Economic Forum succeeded in becoming an institutionalized part of the advisory process. The UN-affiliated International Organization for Migration (IOM) was part of the Global Agenda Council of the World Economic Forum. This came to 2013 with a study entitled "The Business Case for Migration."

In response to a UN mandate, IOM 2013 delivered its recommendations for the UN High Level Dialogue on Migration, shortly after the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos. Much of the "Business Case for Migration" can be found in this, including Recommendation No. 1, to turn public perception and discussion that immigration for target countries is not a problem, but a gain.

One of the 1000 "partners" funding the World Economic Forum is Bertelsmann. The Bertelsmann Foundation signed 2016 the founder of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, with the Reinhard Mohn Prize endowed with 200.000 Euro.

In the same year in which the World Economic Forum published the “Business Case for Migration”, the Bertelsmann Stiftung, which is politically extremely influential in Germany, published a book with the beautiful title: “Germany open yourself! Welcome culture and diversity in the center of society"First sentence is:

"Germany is an immigration society."

In the preface, Foundation Board member Jörg Dräger writes that, for demographic reasons, Germany must attract more specialists to the country, not just academics, but also nurses and service providers. Therefore, the path to a welcome culture must be actively designed.

"A key to widely accepted social diversity is a new, positive image of migrants, as immigrants who enrich our society."

However, smart policies and instruments in migration and integration alone were not enough. In addition, positive images of diversity in the population would have to be anchored.

Ulrich Kober and Rita Süssmuth write in the chapter "The need to catch up: from the country of immigration to a country with a welcome culture":

"The debate about the skills shortage is the context in which the talk of welcome culture has emerged in recent years."

Also, the founder of the Migration Policy Institute in Washington and Brussels and Chairman of the Global Agenda Council on Migration of the World Economic Forum from 2009 to 2011, Demetrios Papademetrioum may contribute a chapter. The well-connected in the Brussels and Washington government scenes gentleman is also still head of the Transatlantic Council on Migrationwho has set himself the task of "encouraging and promoting greater mobility" and is supported by, among others, the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the Federal Government and the Open Society Institute.

Already in November 2011, Bertelsmann Stiftung and the Migration Policy Institute of Papademetriou jointly organized a conference in Berlin entitled "Rethinking National Identity in the Age of Migration" (Rethinking National Identity in the Age of Migration). The final sentence of the joint communiqué is:

"States have the responsibility, in close cooperation with civil society, to lay the foundations for seeing immigrants as people who make an important contribution to society, and for reaffirming this message consistently and systematically."

If you want, you may now like to review the UN migration pact, which has just been passed, and see if the tenor seems familiar to him.

Part 2 deals with the extensive activities of the foundation according to 2015.
