Un Solo Rumbo, is an awareness campaign to eradicate any form of discrimination, because all human beings have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their origin. This campaign is developed in the northern border of Ecuador, and other regions with a large presence of migrants.
The Government of Ecuador ensures access to health and education services for migrants. Ecuadorís public policy plan ëToda Una Vidaí examines the rights of migrants at all stages of policy development plan, and includes a human mobility plan to promote universal citizenship.
The ëOther Talkí is a three-year program ? implemented by Flemish Belgian NGOs 11.11.11 and Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen ? that aims at bringing nuance to the polarised migration debate in Flanders and prevent further polarisation. ëOther Talkí is engaged in discussions in three areas: education, civil society and media. In the framework of the ëOther Talkí programme, the University of Leuven conducted a study ñ only available in Dutch ? on frames and counter-frames that are used or could be used when covering migration issues.
Aware of the divisive potential of an increasing polarized public discourse on migration, the project will pool lessons from selected awareness-raising campaigns on migration. Such analysis will offer evidence-based grounds to develop innovative prototypes of awareness-raising/edutainment formats in collaboration with communication experts at the national level, including University faculties of semiotics, communication and marketing, schools of journalism/TV/radio and art.
