Culture and Creativity

Media (re)presentation and visibility of vulnerable groups like migrants and refugees remains marginal in the mainstream social media across Europe and with a special consideration of the Ukraine situation. The objective remains to identify ways to promote inclusive social media in Europe, and to help these groups creating their own narratives about the place and role of the refugees and migrants in European societies and communities.

The following activities should be part of the expected actions of the project: 

  • Construct relevant and positive online narratives on migration, in collaboration with artists (potentially with a migrant background), influencers, infotainment specialists, game developers, journalists, digital media entrepreneurs and migrants themselves.
  • Develop new or modify collaborative practices, peer learning and professional training for migrants, based on recent digital technologies such as AR, VR and AI to improve their coverage in social media and other relevant channels such as infotainment, online performance and gaming. 
  • Create or extend an existing multidisciplinary community to support migrants’ own communication capacity and increase an existing or initiate a sustainable social media ecosystem around the topic. 
  • Maintain or integrate and enrich the existing web platform from the project ‘Re:framing Migrants in the European Media’.
