This workshop explores to what extent training young migrants as critical media-makers and establishing greater awareness of the politics of representation can increase their resilience needed to amplify their voice and stake out their position in a society new to them? First, we will share and reflect upon experiences of our 2-year Media literacy through making Media (MMM) project, which is oriented towards developing a media-production and smartphone journalism oriented media literacy training with young newcomers and teachers in the Utrecht region. Secondly, we will pool knowledge and resources in the room and brainstorm about how and in which way media literacy can be mobilized to address the needs of vulnerable and marginalized communities. Thirdly, using their own smartphones, participants will experiment with hands-on media-production exercises in small sub-groups. Finally, we will show and discuss created footage.
