MyStory – Media, Migrants and Refugees
MyStory: Media, Migrants and Refugees
The main aim of this project is to offer EU citizens authentic representation in the media of migrants and refugees in order to foster intercultural dialogue und mutual understanding. One way is to empower and encourage migrants and refugees to use media themselves to tell their own story and their own issues.
In this project, national workshops took place, exploring the themes of how migrant and refugee images are portrayed in the media and how the method of storytelling can be used to produce and to disseminate authentic media content with and above all by migrants and refugees.
