Spotlight

Migrant perspectives are often neglected in the public debate. Despite the significant voluntary commitment of migrant self-organizations (MSOs), their issues are often not mentioned in reporting. Instead, migrants are often portrayed in a problematizing way, while their active contributions are undermined. That's why we're launching our Spotlight project - with the aim of improving the media visibility and representation of MSOs. The aim of our project is to promote organizations of people from marginalized groups in their public performance.

In our workshops we offer a safe space for the exchange of experiences of discrimination and racism during volunteer work. We create awareness of discrimination-sensitive language in civil society and use our dictionary with wording aids as a basis. We also rely on expertise and voluntary exchanges with actors on terms that affect their target groups in order to supplement our formulation aids.
