Agenda

With the digitalTSC we want to provide a space to re-discuss strategies and challenges in (post) Corona times: we want to continue the discussions and networking debates that took place at the TSC, to understand where we are now 1 year later. And importantly, we want to propose a transnational decentralized mobilization for the beginning of September: on the 5th anniversary of the "March of Hope" – and the historic breakthrough against the border regime in 2015 during the long summer of migration along the Balkan route.

The digitalTSC will take place in different online meetings. We hope that people might join at least the two (bigger) plenary sessions and one or two (smaller) workshops. The digitalTSC will take place in English and French with translations.

Please register with a short email to our contact address (tsc2019@protonmail.com). until 10.07.2020.

Communication is power: the language used about any issue profoundly affects our understanding of its causes and solutions. How is that power used when it comes to modern slavery? How does media reporting affect public and policymaker understandings of exploitation? What's working well and what needs to be done differently or better? And how can organisational communications support this more effectively? We'll explore these questions and more.

This event is part of ongoing work FLEX is undertaking to understand and improve how the media and other parts of society discuss exploitation issues - we'd love you to join us to hear from the panellists and share your thoughts.

Elke eerste zondag van de maand is er een wake bij het Detentiecentrum bij Rotterdam-The Hague Airport (Vliegveld Zestienhoven). Je bent van harte welkom om samen met ons d.m.v. liederen, gedichten, gebeden en verhalen uitdrukking te geven aan je schaamte en onvrede over het Nederlandse vreemdelingenbeleid.

Na overleg met de gemeente kunnen we weer starten met de wakes! We zullen de anderhalve meter richtlijn respecteren in een extra grote kring. Komt u vooral met eigen vervoer en alleen als u geen gezondheidsklachten heeft!

Locatie: Detentiecentrum bij Rotterdam-The Hague Airport (vliegveld Zestienhoven), Portelabaan 7, 3045 AT Rotterdam
