DW Akademie hosted the “Beyond Borders Asia 2.0: Journalism for and with refugees, migrants and host communities” conference in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Feb. 6–9. A series of talks, panels and workshops focused on improving media coverage of forced migration and building connections among Asian journalists, content creators, and media experts.
Guided by DW Akademie’s Beyond Borders toolkit, the conference dove into the root causes of displacement, ethical storytelling and the role of media and other actors in fostering dialogue and resilience with the perspectives of refugees and migrants at the center.
Special attention was given to climate migration, which is a growing challenge that affects Asia more than other continents, as well as the ethical challenges, real-world risks, and solutions surrounding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in humanitarian communication with displaced communities.
