EVENTS & AWARENESS
OPENNESS | ADVOCACY | ENGAGEMENT
The Events & Awareness Team is composed of three branches:
Marketing and Communication
The Marketing and Communications team undertakes several key responsibilities aimed at raising awareness and sharing impactful stories. One of their primary tasks is preparing awareness publications specifically designed for Instagram, leveraging the platform’s reach to engage a broader audience.
In addition, the team is responsible for creating a newsletter on Subtack, that will serve as a dedicated channel to share awareness content and heartfelt testimonies, ensuring meaningful stories are consistently highlighted. A crucial aspect of their work also involves collecting testimonies from refugees to amplify their voices and experiences, fostering empathy and understanding through authentic narratives. The newsletter will be launched soon, meanwhile, you can subscribe at the following link.
Ciné-Forum
The Ciné-Forum team plays a vital role in fostering dialogue and understanding around the issue of migration and asylum-seeking through the medium of film. They organize screening events, at campus. The post-screening dialogues provide a platform for reflection and meaningful exchange, deepening the impact of the films and encouraging community engagement.
Conferences
The Conferences team is dedicated to promoting education and dialogue on migration through the organization of monthly conferences. These events focus on diverse topics related to migration, offering valuable insights and fostering informed discussions. The team’s responsibilities include identifying and reaching out to knowledgeable speakers, ensuring a diverse range of perspectives. Additionally, they handle all logistical aspects of the events, from coordinating with speakers to managing the venue and technical requirements. Their work ensures that each conference runs smoothly and provides a meaningful platform for learning and exchange.
