On the right, separate maps show the European Union in different shapes: the maps represent possible parameters of hospitality. We started with maps 1-3, based on suggestions of our own. Other criteria were suggested by visitors of the exhibtion or the website. On each map countries are sized differently. The more hospitable a country is according to that specific criterion, the larger it is on the map. The main Hospitality Map is the combined result of these separate maps. The higher the mean level of hospitality, the larger the country is.
Here are some of the remarks put forward by visitors:

Number of foreign nationals residing
Stock of refugees
Government support to minority languages
Migrants access to social security
Rights granted during asylum procedure
Percentage of foreigners in elite
Amount of mixed marriages
Amount of translated authors
Amount fo foreign cuisine restaurants
Amount of household food for guests
Number of birthday cards send to immigrant friends
Open hearted laughter and breaking of bread among different cultures around a table
Number of foreign friends visiting a family over christmas
Number of non-profit organizations runned by immigrants
Segragation by location, do immigrants live in specific neighbourhoods or mixed with locals?
Influence of racism on society
