Effective communication is key when it comes to helping migrants get to know their host country, integrate in their local communities and have access to essential public services.  What are best practices in communication with migrants? How can communicators successfully establish interactive spaces online to respond to migrants’ information needs? And how can governments make sure to reach particularly vulnerable migrant groups in times of crisis? Mahdis Amiri, English Editor of the media outlet Handbook Germany, talks about their innovative approach to provide essential news and information to migrants. 

This podcast is part of the OECD’s NETCOM project, the Network of Communication Officers on Migration. It brings together communication officers and political advisers working in OECD member governments, along with other interested stakeholders, to discuss communication objectives and challenges in the area of migration and integration.

Guests: Mahdis Amiri, Handbook Germany
Host: Robin Allison Davis
