Italy – "Shaping Tomorrow": Communication with Migrants and Refugees

03 August 2024

Rome, Italy - 2 August 2024 - The last session of the first day of work at "Shaping Tomorrow", the World Conference on Social Communication promoted by the Salesian Congregation's Social Communication Sector and the Salesian Pontifical University's Faculty of Social Communication, featured journalist Maurizio di Schino, who spoke on the theme: "communicating with migrants and refugees". The speaker, who himself, as a boy with his family, experienced the experience of being a migrant, urged those present not to recount migrations as "emergencies, since they are part of our history" and called for the responsible use of words, also providing some texts and deontological references for communicators. Then, referring to his direct experiences in the field, he also emphasized the need to tell migration stories by empathizing with migrants and refugees, because such an attitude makes it possible to discover relationships and connections in reality that otherwise would not be seen.
