Even though the social situation regarding the topics of exile and migration differs in the participating countries, a common feature is the fact that media has a major impact on the perception and interpretation of these issues. This led to the idea of organizing an international youth exchange around this topic. The project Changing perspectives focused on the question how the themes exile and migration are handled in the media. Which images of refugees are (re)produced? How are minorities portrayed? Does the coverage take into account the complexity of the cause of flight, the individual refugees and different social realities?
