Senior media representatives and migration experts from Germany, Switzerland, Uganda, Togo, Kenya and South Africa are gathered in Johannesburg to share their insights, innovative projects and story telling initiatives around the topic of migration and refugees. This two-day Media and Migration conference will consider how different regions cover migration and deal with the myths and misconceptions driving intolerance and xenophobia. The event is organised by the Konrad Adenhauer Foundation. More from Christoph Plate*, Director of the KAS Media Programme for Sub-sahara Africa.
