The goal is to deepen understanding of the refugee experience through research, analysis, and empathetic engagement. Scholars will explore the historical, social, and personal dimensions of being a refugee and present their findings in a creative and informative way.
You are a journalist and multimedia content creator tasked with informing, highlighting, and reporting on the experiences of refugees.
Your audience includes your classmates, teachers, and the broader school community. This audience is diverse, including individuals who may not be fully aware of refugee issues or the extent of their impact. Additionally, your work may be shared with local community organizations and displayed at school to raise awareness about refugees.
The situation involves sharing your findings creatively that not only informs but also engages the audience emotionally and intellectually. You will need to balance factual information with personal stories to create a holistic understanding of the refugee experience.

Personal narratives to provide a human face to the statistics.
Visual elements such as photos, videos, and infographics to illustrate key points.
Reflective components that connect the refugee experience to broader themes of human rights and social justice.

Clarity and Conciseness: Effectively convey your message in the news brief.
Engagement: Effectively engage the audience.
Advocacy: Compellingly advocate for involvement and action.
Integration: How well your multimedia product supports and enhances the message of your news brief.
