Symposium "Media on the Move"

Media influence the complex social, cultural and political relationships between majorities and minorities or migrants. The discussion about the coverage of migration issues and ethnic minorities has primarily focused on the Western media, while it rarely has taken into consideration the practical and theoretical approaches of Sotuhern and Eastern countries.

This symposium widens the scope and pays special attention to concrete experiences from Africa, Asia, Latin America and South-Eastern Europe. E.g., it provides insights into:
- Radio Work with Refugees in Tanzania;
- World Migration Day Radio Campaign;
- Media Integration Policies in Canada, Germany and the US;
- Media Monitoring in South Africa;
- Minority Media Assistance in (South-)Eastern Europe;
- Communication Strategies of Burmese and Zimbabwean Exile Media;
- Internet Sphere of Turkish and Russian Migrants in Germany.

This symposium is a joint initiative of the Forum Media and Development (Deutsche Welle Academy, Friedrich Ebert Foundation, Konrad Adenauer Foundation, InWEnt, Centre for Development Research of Bonn University, CAMECO), the Protestant Academy of the Rhineland and the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.

the Symposium "Media on the Move" takes place in Bonn, Germany, from September 25 to 27. Download the invitation at:
