Children’s Screen Content in an Era of Forced Migration: Facilitating Arab-European Dialogue – Documentaries, Distribution, Ethics (Workshop Briefing, 2018)

June 18, 2018

This workshop briefing, the second in a series of three, is part of a project focused on the representation of refugee and migrant children in European screen content for children. Hosted by the Danish Film Institute (DFI) on 19 and 20 March 2018 as part of the annual Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, CPH:DOX, two half-day workshops offered an opportunity to explore how the topic is handled in children’s content made in Denmark, the Netherlands, the UK and Germany.

In all these countries, screen content that focuses on children newly arrived in Europe is rare. The few examples to touch upon these issues are commissioned and broadcast predominantly by public service broadcasters (PSBs), including Danmarks Radio (DR, Denmark), Nederlands Publieke Omroep (NPO, Netherlands), the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC, UK) and Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF, Germany).

The Copenhagen workshops discussed formats that inform children through factual representations rather than fiction.

Migration Media Usage Survey: How do refugees from Syria and Iraq find the right information, before, during and after their journeys to Germany? (MiCT Briefing 2016)

July 3, 2016

From November 2015 to February 2016, MiCT’s research unit conducted in-depth interviews and focus-group discussions with 88 refugees from Iraq and Syria in Berlin. The study centered on the question which information sources they used during the stages of pre-departure, the actual travel, and the period after their arrival in Germany.

The results demonstrate that most of the interviewees did feel well-informed before and during their flight. The most-trusted information about routes and risks was inter-personal communication with individuals who had freshly arrived in the EU. Traditional media, in contrast, hardly played any role for them. A great lack of access to reliable information was perceived after the arrival in Germany, especially because of language barriers.
