German scholarship foundation in Palermo

Ciao!

The german scholarship foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) allows its members to organize educational excursions to various countries, which are then founded enitrely through the organization, as long as there is an educational background. Me and other german students are planning on organizing such an excursion, and we are planning to go to Palermo with a focus on learning about current migration politics, migration routes, situation of migrants in Palermo etc.

I thought it would be convenient to ask here, since I have no real clue about Palermo or Sicily in general.

Concretely, I would like to know if there are any recent political trends or decisions relevant to the topic, any organizations worth contacting, institutions/places worth visiting? Of course other advice is also much appreciated.

Also, both italian and english responses are appreciated :)
