This video looks back at the purpose of the BRIDGES project and the work carried out over three years of research. In view of the EU elections, the video also highlights the relevance of the BRIDGES project and issues four recommendations for EU policymakers to encourage a more balanced and evidence-based debate on migration.
This serie of videos aims to reflect on the impact that migration narratives have in different spheres: their influence on individual attitudes towards migrants; in policymaking at national level; and in the political sphere at the EU level.
How can civil society challenge hegemonic and exclusionary migration narratives? BRIDGES researchers explored the initiatives and strategies of different civil society organisations in Italy, Germany and Spain and the factors leading to the success of the narratives they promoted.
What narratives can be found on media and social media when talking about migration? After analysing traditional and social media coverage of different migration-related events, three experts from the BRIDGES Consortium reflect on the main migration narratives that can be found in the context of their country.
What do we mean by “narrative”? How are narratives on migration produced and re-produced in the media and policy arenas? And at the individual level? What gaps does the project aim to bridge? BRIDGES Scientific Coordinator and three other experts from the consortium explain their views on these questions.
