Beyond the crisis

Englische Version: Conflicts, natural disasters and inequality have forced more than 70 million people from their
homes — the highest number ever. One of the challenges facing displaced people and host
communities is access to reliable information. What role can media play in the context of forced
migration? What can be done to provide life-saving information to affected communities? And how
can media development organizations contribute to community engagement and accountability
mechanisms?
This conference brings together refugees, communication professionals and humanitarian experts to
discuss issues of access to information and dialogue in forced migration settings. It presents a unique
opportunity for participants from all involved sectors to share their knowledge and experiences,
present their organizations and discuss cooperation opportunities.
