New Neighbours
New Neighbours aims to mobilize media and civil society actors to foster greater intercultural understanding between migrants and host communities in Europe. The project is co-financed by the European Commission and coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
New Neighbours highlights the positive social and economic contributions made by migrants and refugees throughout communities across Europe. By promoting direct participation in media production, it is hoped to foster greater intercultural understanding between migrants and local societies in EU member states.
The project is co-financed by the European Commission and coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
