Framing migration from a human rights perspective: a new online course
ENNHRI, together with the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), has developed a new online course on strategies and narratives around communicating human rights, with a particular focus on migration. This online course is based on the first online NHRI Academy conducted in October 2020, in partnership with the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, and provides participants with a toolkit for modern, safe, innovative and human rights-based communication about migration issues.
Created following the first ever online NHRI Academy, this new resource focuses on the use of NHRIs’ promotional mandate when framing migration from a human rights perspective. It discusses the human rights narratives, tactics and strategies that can be adopted in communicating about migration and includes specific sessions on promoting human rights of migrants to the public and policy makers.
