This session will hear from current community initiatives in Jordan, Ecuador and Mexico that are working with migrant communities (particularly women, youth and indigenous people) to build skills in journalism and media and share their output through radio and digital channels.
These projects aim to enable migrants to exercise the rights to freedom of expression and access to information, which help address migration-related vulnerabilities and promote safe, orderly and regular migration. They also allow migrants to better position themselves to engage in culturally sensitive dialogue with host communities. These projects are part of WACC’s "Communication for All" programme.
