ABOUT
The idea of organizing conference on migration and media awareness(CMMA) a forum for media practitioners, journalists, politicians, policy makers, activists civil societies and people with or without flight and migration experience biyearly, was first conceived in 2017 by Larry Macaulay, founder of Refugee Radio Network with close friends and associates who thought it important that intellectual discussions and debates that are often organized by mainstream governmental and non-governmental organizations should also be extended to the grassroots level in solidarity with marginalized groups, migrants / refugees irrespective of his/her location, social class, political position, belief or status and be translated to a platform which would expand the conversation build new Counterculture narrative that lead to a peaceful coexistence of cultures, eliminate the fear of stranger and show the beauty, colors and diversity of a cosmopolitan society.
The CMMA 2021 is a three-day conference which convenes approximately 250 participants from
4 continents, 20 countries and over 100 institutions to engage in discussions with key stake holders, policy makers, educators, social workers, activists, bloggers, journalist, representatives of communities.
This year, CMMA2021 Conference theme is “Looking Back, Thinking Ahead”
The forum combines workshops, panels, debates and cultural formats with top-class experts on the topic of Media, Arts and Migration with focus on helping define what migration of the present should look like and how they will meet the needs of our communities: today and into the future.
Topics such as inclusion, diversity and participation in the media and arts sector (community & mainstream). A discursive exchange on political moods and opinions in the "(post) pandemic era" will take place in analogue and digital form, analysing diversity as a norm and strength and seismographically touching on the coming questions in global discourses.

LIBYA NO ESCAPE FROM HELL - TRAILER from MAGNETO PRESSE on Vimeo.
PRODUCTION INFO
Year: 2021
Duration: 60 mins
Production: Magneto
Director: Sara Creta
Available Versions: ENG, FRA
Country of production: France
Thousands of refugees are trapped in Libya’s hellish detention centres, where abuse, rape and extortion is rampant. They live in subhuman conditions, awaiting someone – the militia, Europe, the UN, anyone – to decide their fate. We investigate the entire detention system, how this traffic works, the role of the militias and the way in which their control is exercised.
Officially, Libya’s 26 detention centres are run by the GNA, the UN-recognised government in Tripoli. In reality they are in the hands of the militias that control the country, who see migrants as a ready source of cash. The European Union finances the camps but then takes no responsibility for what happens there.
What needs to be changed and what are the solutions? Why is there such a lack of transparency when it comes to the UN’s activities in Tripoli? Europe seems to be at the mercy of Libyan blackmail and the measures taken to help Libya deal with the migrant problem reinforce the cycle of “extreme abuse”

Lost & Found – Museum of Im/migration Socio-cultural diversity is a reality of today, and plurality is integral to the socio-political concept of a consciously lived diversity: To some extent, plurality in India has already become a political reality; in Africa it is a political challenge in the decades to come whereas in Europe it is still a political vision.- oumar mbengue - http://www.oumarmbengue.com/ Location: Kampnagel Internationale Kulturfabrik Hall: K4 Foyer |

Motion - audiovisual Performance & Action painting.
Motion is a format which combines dance, painting and music within one audiovisual experience. It transcends questions of cultural identity and its expression in the combined art forms. One Track, one shot, one painting. That's the idea behind the collaborative artistic format of Hamburg based painter Nii-Armah Hammond - https://flic.kr/p/DZ7whw |

PRESS RELEASE #2
CONFERENCE POSTPONED
Due to Coronavirus
(COVID-19) Pandemic.
To Whom It May Concern,
In light of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are seeing that many events are cancelled,
postponed, or moved. It is for this reason that we no longer believe it to be feasible
to hold the conference at the end of November 2020. However, cancelling the
conference altogether is not an option for us.
The planning of the conference was well underway, with more than 300 registered
participants and 10 confirmed sessions scheduled to take place over the course
of two and half days. The most important networks of media stakeholders had already
confirmed their attendance.
After careful deliberation among the entire conference organization, and after
consultation with the CMMA2020 Conference organizing Committee,
we have therefore decided to POSTPONE THE CONFERENCE to
October/November 2021.
The 2nd Edition of the Conference on migration and media awareness (CMMA)
will therefore be held in the month of October/November 2021, at
Kampnagel International Center for Fine Arts in Hamburg.
The organizers’ main concern is to guarantee the health of everyone
involved and ensure a high level of attendance from stakeholders
around the world.
Please bear with us as we do this and stay tuned for details. These will be
posted on the CMMA2020/21 website.
Despite these ongoing changes, we are committed to keep CMMA the
premier conference and empowerment platform for media literacy, cultural
diversity and strengthening alliances towards migrants’ & refugees’ rights and solidarity.
The conference organizers invite all partners to continue their engagement with this event
and will work towards ensuring the same programme with an even greater level of
participation in 2021.
Our best wishes go out to all of you. We hope you stay safe and healthy and we are looking
forward to seeing you next year.
Thank you for your patience.

PRESS RELEASE #1
Successful first edition of the
Migration and Media Awareness Conference in Hamburg
A forum to promote social empowerment
and participation through media
The first Conference on Migration and Media Awareness gathered 280+ international participants from civil society, institutions and media in Hamburg on November 24.-25.
Organized by Refugee Radio Awareness Network, the CMMA2017 took place at Kampnagel Internationale Kulturfabrik and focused on the role and responsibilities of media in enabling (or hindering) social empowerment and participation of all members of society. Media makers and activists with a refugee or migrant background played a key role in discussion panels, workshops and exhibitions.
Anas Aboura, human rights activist and former chemistry student from Damascus, illustrated the initiatives of the Migrantpolitan collective in Hamburg and stated that “Integration means to exchange our cultures, not just to absorb one. Kampnagel provides a platform for that”.
This philosophy is at the heart of Refugee Radio Network, the project founded by Nigerian Activist \ Social commentator Larry Macaulay in 2014: “We are here to connect cultures, share knowledge, share history and contribute to a peaceful cohesive society. That’s our vision. We facilitate dialogue through the radio so that we can deconstruct this migrant fear in Europe, which is still very high”.
The psycho-social effect of mainstream media’s reporting on migration and refugees was discussed in the panel “From solidarity to fear – life in a post welcome culture”, involving also Kampnagel’s Artistic Director Amelie Deuflhard who reminded that “We need to find new and different narratives around migration” and that “The government and funding bodies are wrong to think that the ‘refugee crisis’ is solved and they should spend money on other things”.
Good practices for inclusion and freedom of expression in community media were presented at the opening panel by Prof. Brigitta Busch of the University of Vienna: “Self-representation for refugees in media is essential to counter misrepresentations and be part of more inclusive national communication spaces.” Community radio has been key in providing accessible media production and social integration opportunities for new arrivals in Germany, but community media need much more support across Europe.
Professional, “mainstream” media was criticized for reproducing structural inequalities and xenophobic political discourse, with too little efforts made to ensure refugee voices are heard in the media – for example through exiled journalists expressing their lived experience. The CMMA2017 provided a forum where all stakeholders (citizens, policy makers, educators, social workers, activists, bloggers, artists, journalists and representatives of communities) could share their initiatives and strategies for social change.
Dr. Silvia Grundmann, Head of the Media and Internet Division at the Council of Europe commented that “events like these are what allows to close the divide between institutions and citizens”.
Adetayo George-Adewoye Publisher and Editor of Africa Reporters “To whom much is given, much is expected. Your contributions and struggles we acknowledge and appreciate all over Africa. Thank you for been there for all.”
Prof. Kanchan K. Malik, Head of department university of Hyderabad and faculty fellow UNESCO chair on community media “it was a wonderful conference! I feel so inspired by all the good work that RRN is doing, and also by the passion with which all the groups are advocating for the rights of migrants and for social justice. The UNESCO Chair on Community Media is hoping to be engaged more actively in this area of endeavor.”
The explorative study “Spaces of Inclusion - needs of refugees and migrants in the domain of media communication and on responses by community media”, commissioned by the Council of Europe to the University of Vienna, will be available later in December at https://www.coe.int/en/web/freedom-expression and https://www.commit.at/
The third CMFE media literacy workshop part of the Media Against Hate campaign took place as a Conference pre-event and addressed the topic of Empowerment and protection of women journalists and media makers.
