SUMMARY:open:fora - Migrant Media Network Café
DESCRIPTION:Diasporas are viewed as important agents of economic and social development in countries of origin\, but governments often lack knowledge or capacity for engaging them effectively at scale.  By exploring what roles the governments of the host countries vs the countries of origin play\, or should play\, we look to establish methodologies that help counter both the pressures of flight and conflict.

SUMMARY:#MMN_Migrant Media Network Public Presentation
DESCRIPTION:December 18\, 2019 \nReported by Sara Shedden Casanovas \nMigrant Media Network 2019 ended with a public presentation of the project\, at the Haus der Statistik on December 13th. #MMN trainee and political scientist at the University of Bayreuth\, Fortune Agbele\, opened the event with a keynote talk. She highlighted the need for policy-makers and politicians to apply multiple and evidence-based sustainable solutions to tackle global migration\, going beyond the current one-sided interventions\, which are largely focused on building barriers to impede the entry of migrant Africans to Europe. \nIn this regard\, she applauded how the Migrant Media Network is approaching the global migration issue: “The project\, which has so far been piloted in Ghana\, does not only seek to create an awareness of the dangers that come to taking the irregular route to Europe but also seeks to highlight the opportunities in the home countries. And of particular relevance to the social media boom\, it seeks to provide young Africans with reliable information not only on safer options to migrate to Europe but also on the need to scrutinize some of the false images shared on social media about life in Europe.” \n\nAfter the keynote talk\, the initiators of #MMN showcased the different information resources and open technologies that have been co-created with members of the Ghanaian diaspora based in Berlin\, during a series of workshops that took place in Berlin at the beginning of the project. These include the raspberry Pi powered HyracBox offline server\, a migrant information and entrepreneurship oriented USSD system\, along with a comprehensive hard copy and digital #MMN Field Guide for trainers and community leaders. \nThe event closed with a panel discussion with the returned trainers\, in which they reported about their experiences in running social media skills\, migration and entrepreneurship workshops in their home communities in Ghana and talked about their personal stories as migrants in Germany. The trainers shared with the audience a surprising impact their workshops had on most participating school boys and girls during their time in Ghana. Whereas at the beginning of the training most participants considered migrating to Europe or the US in the near future -some were already in contact with a travel agent-\, the figures reversed after the workshops. Most youth became critical about migrating to Europe irregularly and many considered taking a new path in life as social entrepreneurs in their home towns. \n“Participants became much aware of the dangers of irregular migration routes and associated risks on getting documentation in Germany. They also identified alternative economic activities to migrating to Germany such as small-scale farming\, fishing\, livestock rearing and petty trade\, among others\, and were interested in how to access the needed funds to start-up in their local communities.” reported trainer Cosmas Combat. \nWith this valuable insight\, Migrant Media Network 2020 will have the potential to enhance these impact by supporting young people in Ghana access the skills\, information\, mentoring and resources they need in the long term to turn their ideas into businesses\, to be job-creators instead of job-seekers\, and to empower the younger generations with a ‘making culture’.Posted in Africa\, Initiatives\, Open Knowledge\, Open Technology and tagged #defyhatenow Field Guide\, Migration\, MMN

SUMMARY:Borders of Fear Meetup: Facing Invisible Borders
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 28 October\, 19:00 – 22:00 at ACUD Macht Neu\, Veteranenstr 21\, 10119 Berlin  \nPart of the DNL Activation programme https://www.disruptionlab.org/meet-ups\nCost: free admission · Language: English \nRegistration: The number of participants is limited to 15. Booking is essential.\nPlease get your ticket here: https://pretix.eu/disruptionlab/invisibleborders \nWarming up to our 21st conference BORDERS OF FEAR: Migration\, Security & Control\, (27-29 November 2020\, Studio 1\, Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien)\, we invite you to join us for an evening with Thomas Kalunge of the Migrant Media Network – an immersion into the journey of a potential migrant to Germany using design thinking. \nThe Migrant Media Network (#MMN) is a project by the r0g_agency for open culture & critical transformation that provides young Africans with reliable information and training on migration issues and social media to make informed decisions and be aware of safer migration options to Europe. #MMN promotes youth entrepreneurship at home as a way to build economic and social resilience\, encouraging youth to create their own opportunities and work within their communities. \nProgram – starting from 19:00:\n\n\nIntroduction to the conference Borders of Fear: Migration\, Security & Control \n\n\nIntroduction to the Migrant Media Network \n\n\nImmersive journey: facing invisible borders \n\n\nDrinks and networking \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvery year thousands of people from developing countries apply for a visa to western countries\, often facing a tedious visa application process: worrying whether they have the right documents\, whether a typo might have put their application directly into the reject pile\, or just anxiously awaiting a response. At worst\, getting a visa successfully is completely mystifying. And what if after doing all the hard work your visa gets denied? The anxiety and fear of rejection are made even worse by locations where the embassy are located especially in developing countries like Ghana and Kenya. The security surrounding the facilities look designed to induce fear. The question then here is who really fears who? \nOn the contrary\, as of July 2020\, the German passport was ranked as the 3rd strongest passport in the world: German passport holders can travel to about 189 countries without a visa. The problems of visa application will be therefore new for many German\, or European\, passport holders. \nIn this meetup\, Thomas C. Kalunge will\, after an introduction to the Migrant Media Network project\, invite you to immerse yourself via the design thinking process into the experiences of potential migrants. This journey will help you understand the process of applying for visa coming from a developing country\, and make the invisible border visible. Are the the strict regulation to access the consulate and the complicated application process strategically designed to induce fear? If so why? \nRegistration\n\n\nThe meetup is free of admission and the number of seats is limited to 15. Booking is essential. You can reserve a spot here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\nThomas G. Kalunge (Strategy advisor/Agile Project Management\, r0g_agency) is Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship Scientist and practitioner (MSc) as well as a certified design thinking expert. With the User-centered approach\, Thomas’s work focuses on Agile project management\, Innovation Management\, and diaspora involvement in transformative development in host and countries of origin. Currently\, Thomas leads the project Migrant Media Network #MMN. This project uses digital online and offline tools to ensure factual information on migration decisions and to provide a discussion forum to defuse the often one-sided picture of migration perpetuated mostly by human smugglers. He also works with r0g_agency on program and strategy development for various projects and programs in Africa \nFunded by: Senatsverwaltung für Kultur Und Europa (Senate Department for Culture and Europa\, Berlin)\, Bundeszentrale Für Politische Bildung\, the Reva and David Logan Foundation (Grant Provided by Neo Philanthropy)\, the Guerrilla Foundation\, Checkpoint Charlie Foundation. Supported [in Part] by a Grant From the Foundation Open Society Institute in Cooperation with the OSIFE of the Open Society Foundations. Part of Re-Imagine Europe co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

SUMMARY:DOTS – THE IMPACT SUMMIT 2020\, SUSTAINABLE\, POSITIVE ALTERNATIVES TO REGULAR MIGRATION
DESCRIPTION:r0g_agency Migrant Media Network initiative \nIn this session\, we revisited a topic we came across while running the migrant media network project: a discussion about migration\, technology\, border control\, and migration and technology in general. Due to the perceived or real increase in complexity of migration\, governments are increasingly turning to emerge technologies for solutions.\nThese technologies come with promises of effectiveness\, efficiency\, fairness\, and protection. The questions\, however\, that need to be asked are: \n\nCan technology be neutral?\nDoes it impact people from different backgrounds equally?\nHow do fairness and protection work in a society marked by great inequality?\n\nSustainable\, positive alternatives to regular migration\n@weareGIG\nHosted by:\nThomas Kalunge\nSpeakers:\nTiziano & Don Mattia Ferrari – Mediterranea Saving Humans\nPeter Narh – Researcher\, Lecturer University of Ghana Legon\nRhoda Wedam – Song- Ba Empowerment Center Ghana\nLinda Bonyo – CEO | Lawyers Hub (Tech for Justice) & Africa Law Tech
