Background

Migration is a prevalent political topic in most European countries, often mentioned in connection with demographic decline and labour shortages. While current political debates focus on controlling the borders, the seminar will explore: What does it take to become a successful migrant/refugee? What are the criteria? On the other hand, what are the major fears regarding migration: demographic, cultural, linguistic, religious, or security? Is there a common EU integration policy or each country follows its own path?

Target Groups

Austrian and international journalists, thinktank analysts, and academics.

Number of participants

Maximum: 70

    Online Hate and Smear Campaigns: Analyse, Mitigate, Respond

  • Politik und Medien
  • For the vast majority of journalists, online harassment comes with the job. We often feel helpless in the face of such harassment or don't know how to support our colleagues, so we choose to ignore it until the attacks take a toll on our reputation or emotional well-being. This is not a digital security seminar, instead we will be using our skills as journalists to prevent, analyze and react analytically against these attacks.
