The conference aims at empowering existing and developing new networks of refugees and migrants as well as creating a possibility to analyze the current situation in Germany and Europe, according to its website.

The forum is expected to offer a panel discussion on the issue of migration causes and fight for the right to obtain a residence permit in Europe.

Amid a major migrant crisis unravelling in Europe, Germany has become a major destination for thousands of refugees and immigrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and North Africa since the start of 2015. Last year it registered over 1.1 million refugees, according to the interior ministry's estimates.
