Voces en Movimiento: Semilleros de Comunicación. Manual - Memoria

Bogotá: Grupo Comunicarte; Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) (2021), 134 pp.

"Con profunda alegría y gratitud presentamos este Manual, una Memoria que recopila hechos-actividades de un grupo de personas que se embarcaron en un proceso con la mas alta incertidumbre. Como hurmanidad se estaba vivienda la PANDEMIA denominada COVID19, todo daba entender que el confinamiento, lo ... s distintos momentos de cuarentena (ya fuera total o por localidades) iban para largo, y así fue. Para este año 2021, ademas, se sumaron los paros, las manifestaciones sociales, las agresiones contra los bienes de lo público. Por lo tanto, gracias a la tecnología, la virtualidad había venido para quedarse, sin duda alguna, nada volvería hacer como antes. Ha sido la oportunidad de encontrarnos ante una nueva forma de vivir y de relacionarnos las personas y las organizaciones. [...] Es en medio de este contexto, que el equipo de trabajo de Grupo COMUNICARTE busca todas las formas pata convocar gente; fue una gran preocupación de como encantar y vender la idea a una población pendular, como son los habitantes del centro de la ciudad, barrio Santa Fe en Los Martires, tocar y tocar la puertas a las organizaciones e instituciones presentes en las localidades de Bosa y Los Martires, y gracias a la respuesta positiva de alguna institución como la de la |glesia Luterana de Bosa-Porvenir y grupos pequeños, luego jóvenes que se sumaron al grupo base que iban y devolvían, asi se conformaron los dos grupos Semilleros que hoy coronan y experimentan el reconocimiento de un grupo de amigos. También se cuenta con un espacio donde los venezolanos y venezolanas y algunos de las comunidades de acogida, han sentido como un escenario para hacer “catarsis", un lugar donde todos tienen la libertad de la palabra y la expresión, donde han encontrado y descubierto los medios de comunicación y entre ellos la Radio, como un pretexto para ser tratados como personas, mejorar su calidad de vida, para aceptarse y aceptar a los demas. Para generar contenidos mediaticos, noticias positivas, historias de vida, historias de superación que unen las dos caras de un mismo y único pueblo. Esta es la historia de Migración vista y vivida desde otro enfoque, ésta es y trata de ser la vida y posición de una comunidad que acoge a unos hermanos del otro lado de la frontera. Esta es y trata de ser el recorrido de una experiencia de Comunicación y Migración con rostro humano y solidario." (Presentación, páginas 7-8) more

From Fragmentation to Integration: Addressing the Role of Communication in Refugee Crises and (re)settlement Processes

Amanda Alencar, Noemi Mena Montes, Miguel Vicente-Mariño (eds.)

International Communication Gazette, volume 83, issue 1 (2021), pp. 3-101

"Top-down approaches have limited potential to reach long-lasting and innovative solutions for the settlement of refugees. There is a growing consensus among scholars and policy-makers that governments alone cannot solve complex societal problems, and that participation of non-government actors, sta ... keholders, media companies, civil society, and the refugee themselves is crucial to achieving more positive outcomes in the long-run. In this special issue, we seek to contribute to this growing research field by exploring the issue in a variety of contexts, using different methodologies and with a focus on the inherent linkages between media, society and political authorities in the management of migration and integration processes. Communication Research, at its diverse layers and from a wide array of topics and methods, is expected to contribute to the analysis of social, political, demographic and cultural changes, so tackling the ongoing refugee crisis in the Mediterranean area is an opportunity to connect theoretical and methodological advances with a relevant topic which certainly requires practical, technical and applied contributions. In doing so, screening the online activity turns into an additional sphere to be kept under attention, as a new space for social discussion and action. The origin of the special issue entitled ‘From fragmentation to integration: Addressing the role of communication in refugee crises and settlement processes’ is a Pre-Conference organized by the guest editors as part of the 68th Annual International Communication Association Conference held in Prague, in 2018. The main purpose of this pre-conference was to open a space for dialogue regarding the way refugee crises and integration processes are tackled by political, social and media actors, aiming to set some guidelines to avoid those mistakes previously noticed and leading to a more constructive and conscious coverage and social action. This event brought together researchers, policy advisors, NGO representatives and refugee migrants to discuss the intersections between refugee migration and communication processes. A selection of original articles that were presented at this event form the basis of this special issue. The main themes addressed in the articles of the current special issue are: (1) inclusive digital forms of literacy and activism for/with refugees; (2) local responsesto refugee crises, (re)settlement and their communication strategies; and (3) media representation of humanitarian crises and refugees in their receiving countries."

Migration and Communication: Information and Awareness-Raising Campaigns in Countries of Origin and Transit. Austrian National EMN Conference 2019 Briefing Paper

Vienna: European Migration Network, National Contact Point Austria (2020), 6 pp.

"Information and awareness-raising campaigns for (potential) migrants in third countries constitute a central element of current migration strategies, both at the European and national level. However, little is known about the impact of these campaigns and how they influence migratory behaviour. Inf ... ormation and behaviour change: In light of these limitations, we can learn from findings of rigorous evaluations in other fields, such as behavioural economics, and apply those to how information and awareness-raising can influence behaviour. Therefore, information and awareness-raising campaigns must be built on a contextual understanding of how people form beliefs and expectations and how these are transformed into decisions. Randomized evaluations: Researchers, donors, EU Institutions and Member States are increasingly aware of the importance of creating rigorous evidence and using this evidence to inform policy decisions. To isolate the impact of information and awareness-raising campaigns on migratory behaviour, randomized evaluations are being implemented by some selected researchers and institutions. Lessons learned: Evaluations presented during the conference indicate that peer-to-peer information campaigns have the potential to raise awareness about the risks and opportunities associated with migration. Another example shows that information on the chances of obtaining a legal status in Europe impacts the inclination to migrate. Rigorous evaluations also shed light on how information campaigns compare against other policy interventions, such as providing economic opportunities at the local level. Most evaluations find that migrants and potential migrants respond to reliable and trustworthy information. Social networks: Beside rigorours evidence, which is still rare, qualitative evaluations suggest that campaigns should be built on trust: this can be achieved by using personal or peer-to-peer communication channels, a positive narrative, and messages of legal alternatives rather than deterrence. Finally, in order to create contextappropriate messages and to identify the right target group, diaspora communities and local experts are important stakeholders in the design and implementation of campaigns."
