Counter-narrative campaigns are strategic communication efforts designed to challenge misinformation, disinformation, and harmful narratives around migration. Digital migration marketing applies audience targeting, behavioral insights, and digital channels to promote accurate information on migration risks, rights, and safe pathways.
Migration narratives are increasingly shaped by misinformation, smuggling networks, and politically charged messaging. This distorts perceptions, fuels unsafe migration decisions, and undermines trust in official information systems and institutions.
This course equips participants with practical tools to design evidence-based counter-narratives and digital communication strategies. It focuses on behavioral communication, digital engagement, audience segmentation, and campaign design to influence migration-related decision-making positively.
