Making the media more diverse and truly reflecting the European multicultural society is a responsibility of both the media and organisations representing third-country nationals living in Europe. To achieve this change both the parties should participate in constructive dialogues to support the interculturalisation process of the media. This statement raises questions:
- How can journalists and media professionals develop parallel work to make the media more diverse?
- Which tools and methodologies are in place to make this change? What is working at community and local level?
- What can be changed at national and European level?
These questions and themes were dealt with during discussions, workshops and presentations. But participants could also take part in the interactive show “The Roma labyrinth’, and watch young talents perform in the sizzling Roots & Routes roadshow.
