Summary:

Good communication can be a powerful tool in support of migrant integration. The “Communicating on Migrant Integration” website of the OECD Network of Communication Officers on Migration (NETCOM) makes available articles and good practice examples on the topic.

The site highlights important communications campaigns at the national and international levels, such as Portugal’s 2016 campaign “What if it was me?”, the Czech Republic’s 2018 campaign "Let’s Talk Together (about Migration)"” and the International Organization for Migration’s 2017 campaign "I am a migrant". It also links to useful data and resources, including the OECD’s Indicators of Immigrant Integration and the special 2018 Eurobarometer survey on migrant integration in the EU.
