CoMMPASS
Communicating Migration and Mobility – E-Learning Programs and Newsroom Applications for Sub-Saharan Africa
Descrição

This proposal focuses on migration and mobility as one of the key priorities addressed by the EU’s Comprehensive Strategy with Africa. By addressing capacity building in higher journalism education, the project will promote the quality of information and public discourse about migration and mobility in countries of origin and transit of migration towards Europe. Thus, not only HEIs and the media industry, but also societies at large will be impacted. The project is entitled Communicating Migration and Mobility – E-Learning Programs and Newsroom Applications for Sub-Saharan Africa. CoMMPASS will conceptualize a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) curriculum on media and migration for Sub-Saharan Africa HEIs. Thus, the project will support the highly needed digital transformation of higher education in Sub-SaharanAfrica (SSA). Six HEIs from three LDCs (Burkina Faso, Malawi, Uganda) will participate in the project, alongside 8 HEIs from further African countries as associated partners. The African Media Initiative will serve as an industry partner; the Media Challenge Initiative will ensure the students’ perspective throughout the project. UNESCO is among non-HEI partners.
The CoMMPASS project will train 100 researchers and teachers at partner and associated partner HEIs, 380 students participating in pilot teaching of the MOOCs, and 250 practicing journalists. CoMMPASS will furthermore support sustainable regional networks by stipulating the establishment of an Alliance of African Journalism Educators (AAJE) and a Forum for African Journalism Students
(FAJS). Major outputs will be the 14-module sets of MOOCs in four key languages for SSA (English, French, Portuguese, Swahili), the pilot teaching and a comprehensive multimedia stakeholder communication strategy aimed at key decision makers for journalism education in SSA.
