“Migration Matters is keenly shaping the narratives around migration and refugees with their educational video series by showcasing the talents and stories of migrants and the underprivileged.”

“Migration Matters provides spot-on videos on the nexus between climate change and (im)mobility, which we were thrilled to incorporate into our teaching materials in the frame of the Teaching Immigration in European Schools project. The videos are excellent tools to make key insights from research accessible to a wider audience in an objective, engaging, and visual way.”

“Migration Matters videos are accessible and yet never banal, a great tool for advancing the conversation on migration in an informed and intelligent way. I regularly use them for my teaching.”

Professor of International Migration & Forced Displacement, University of Birmingham

“Migration Matters provides an important space for media practitioners to reflect on how they can add more nuance and context to the coverage of migration. We should make every effort to report not only reliable, objective information, but also to facilitate more dialogue on this important topic.”

Chiponda Chimbelu

News Producer & Editor, Deutsche Welle

“The power of Migration Matters videos lies in the ability of the well selected speakers to break complicated issues down to understandable messages without losing the crucial points. People who watch the videos will have better conversations about migration and integration.”

“Migration Matters’ work is one expression of how technology and the arts can be put to the service of critical social thinking. They touch the heart of the debate and help us all rethink our assumptions and values.”

Anna Triandafyllidou

Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration, Toronto Metropolitan University

“Migration Matters is a powerful tool in the everyday work of volunteers, refugee activists and anyone who easily gets into discussions on migration topics around the dinner table. Armed with facts, empathetic and humanistically-minded people do a better job at tackling both cynicism and misconceptions.”

Annamaria Olsson

Founder, Give Something Back to Berlin

“The Migration Matters videos were inspiring and helped trigger interesting discussions on media coverage in our virtual programme for refugees and non-refugees. We look forward to further collaboration.”

Casper van der Heijden

Co-Founder & Managing Director, Sharing Perspectives Foundation

“Back in 2015, when hundreds of Germans stood and welcomed refugees, we saw clearly what much of the rest of Europe was missing: information and empathy. This is why I believe Migration Matters is not only a great organization, but a crucial one for these challenging times.”

“Migration is probably the policy area where the distance between research-based evidence and the public discourse is the greatest. Migration Matters is doing a great job in bridging this gap using smart journalism and humour.”
