Reflections on the first week of the 2016 Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Chnage
Jordan Pailthorpe is a creative producer at the engagement lab at Emerson college and the producer of the 2016 Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change publication; he has summarized the reflections, highlights and key discussions of the first week of this year's migration-focused academy.
Eight Days. That’s how long faculty, students, and staff have been living in the Schloss Leopoldskron to participate in the 2016 Salzburg Global Seminar Media Academy, where we are exploring the role media plays in engaging citizens, journalists, governmental bodies and capacity organizations in cross-cultural dialogue about migration and its portrayal in digital culture. By the end of the three weeks we will produce a series of multimedia stories that articulate how our personal stories and human connections can enable us and others to be more inclusive, responsive, and understanding of migrants and the socio-political-cultural impacts of migration.
