Misinformation about refugees and migrants is on the rise – fueling fear, polarisation and harmful policy decisions. On Thursday 3 July 2025, the MYAN team joined Professor Daniel Ghezelbash, Director of the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, as he presents a powerful new tool: An Evidence-Based Framework for Countering Misinformation About Refugees and Migrants.
This practical and evidence-based resource helps everyone including advocates and service providers navigate complex narratives, challenge harmful myths, and shape more constructive public conversations. Whether you work in humanitarian response, settlement services, refugee support, or public advocacy, this session will equip you with strategies to respond more effectively to misinformation.
