Migration from Africa and other regions of the world constitutes major challenges for all concerned. This applies above all to the migrants themselves. What is it that motivates young men and women from Africa to look for a life far from their homes? What do they experience on their journey? And how do they live when they have arrived in the land of their hopes?
The "Destination Europe" multimedia service primarily targets young African men and women. It is based on the idea that juveniles and young adults in particular urgently need information and the opportunity to enter into a dialogue long before they set off for Europe.
"Destination Europe" shows a realistic picture of the topic of migration and life in Europe, and points to both opportunities, as well as to challenges and traps. It consists of various multimedia elements, and includes an audio novella on the topic, video portraits of migrants, as well as a large number of social media activities.

In cooperation with the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), a project was created consisting of various multimedia elements and an audio novella on the topic, video portraits of migrants, as well as a large number of social media activities. The intention is to create an interactive, realistic overall picture reflecting the motivations of young people, their experience on their journey and how they live in Europe. The topics of this project therefore include the lack of prospects in their home countries, the topic of "Smugglers and human traffickers", "The asylum procedure", "Studying in Europe", and many more. The project is supported by the German Federal Foreign Office.
Since the project directly addresses people in their countries of origin, the service is provided in English, French and Arabic. The content can be accessed in German.
