This event is organized by the nccr – on the move, the Swiss National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) for migration and mobility studies.

The workshop aims to present creative means that social scientists can use to transfer knowledge, particularly to non-academic audiences. Members of the NCCR as well as external speakers will share their experiences in using different tools to reach the wider public. There will be sessions on Theatre and Exhibitions, Documentaries and Movies, (Data) Visualizations, and Comic Books.

The day will end with the première of a nccr – on the move co-funded documentary, “Weaving Threads Across Borders”, about the stories of three Colombian women and the strategies they develop to weave social fabric and keep their business going between the two sides of the Colombia-Venezuela border.
