Media & Citizenship in the EU

Arabic language media and life in London

 

  • How do Arabs in the UK feel about the state of political debate in the country’s media and in the public sphere?
  • How do young Arabs feel about terrorism and Islam?
  • And how does national and transnational television shape a sense of belonging in Britain, in the country of their origin, and the Arab diaspora?

 

The event will start with a presentation of the research findings and will be followed by debates and hands-on activities that aim at recording public’s opinions about news on national and transnational television; the role of transnational television soap operas in their lives; and their thoughts and visions about citizenship.

 

Provisional Programme:

 2:00 – 2:30 Refreshments

2:30 – 3:00 Presentation of research findings

3:00 – 3:30 Public Discussion

3:30 – 5:00 Parallel debates with the public and hands-on activities on news, soap operas, and citizenship.
