Events and Engagements with MotM

Migrants of the Mediterranean has openings available to speak at your class, conference or event. Founder + Lead Correspondent, Pamela Kerpius has visited classrooms and conference panels sharing the methodology, impact and insights developed from years of work reporting in the field of migration, from Lampedusa island in the Mediterranean to migrant housing camps on mainland Italy, Germany, Belgium, France and the Netherlands.

 
 

Lectures on the Humanitarian Storytelling work at MotM compliment curriculum investigating human rights, social impact, European history, international policy, cultural and diaspora studies, and more. And as we present from a humanitarian angle, our lectures often deliver inspiration to students, scholars and activists eager to apply their knowledge in an impactful human way.

Lectures can also be useful to international language classes, especially Italian and German departments, using our translated Journey Story Archive available in Italian and German as further points of study.

In addition to the MotM founder, lectures and events have in the past featured guests from the MotM migrant community. Those participants provide first-hand testimony of their experiences and create a brighter elucidation of the organization’s impact. Their attendance can be arranged, upon request, and upon subjects’ interest and availability.
