This course is designed for people involved in communication in organisations or offices dealing with migration issues.
It also provides an orientation framework for those who want to know more about the reality of migrants and refugees on the African continent, beyond the stereotypes or biased information that is often conveyed in society or in the media.
It aims to provide the basic elements of human mobility in order to be able to approach the concrete reality of the people and communities involved in these dynamics and communicate them in a relevant and effective way.
Among the tools offered are numerous multimedia contributions (in collaboration with other partners) for personal and group analysis and comparison with other experts in communication or artistic and video production.
The programme consists of several topics and themes, including:
- A global look at human mobility: understanding and interpreting the movement of people
- The fundamentals of communication: from the message to the recipient, the communication process and the tools of effective communication.
- Migration: beyond stereotypes, prejudices and cultural barriers.
- Narratives of human mobility in the African context: media, art and literature
- Towards an ethics of migration: respect for the individual and a holistic approach to the human dimensions of the subject
- Managing communication in the contemporary global network
