The MEM ProjectMEM – Multicultural Europe in the Media project
The MEM – Muticultural Europe in the Media projects involves organisations from 7 Central and Eastern European countries and from 3 North European countries in a series of trainings and other events taking place at both international and national level. The MEM project is meant as the follow-up of the successful MIM – Migrants in the media pilot project, which was implemented from October 2008 to April 2010 in 7 EU counties: Germany, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Hungary, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The methodology of the MIM and of the MEM project are similar: joining together representatives of PSBs and of minority NGOs in a series of trainings and other “networking events” in order to create an atmosphere of mutual understanding and national platforms for dialogue amongst the two parts. The continuity between the two projects is not only virtual: the Tuning in to Diversity 2010 Conference, which took place in Budapest on 25 and 26 February 2010, was at the same time the closing event of the MIM and the starting one of the MEM. The Conference represented an unique occasion for both the projects’ partners to meet, discuss and exchange their experiences and their perspectives.
Countries participating in the MEM project are (in alphabetical order): Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Sweden. Main training tools used in the trainings are “A Diversity Toolkit for factual programmes in public services television”, already used in the MIM project, and “A DIVERSITY TOOLKIT for initiating intercultural dialogue between CSOs and the media'”, a product of the MIM project.
