Migrantales 2.0 is a student project developed during the course ‘Design of Technological Environments for Communication’ held by Prof. Patrizia Marti and Alessia Rullo in the period March-June 2008 – Master program in Publishing, Journalism and Communication, Sassari University (Sardinia, Italy).
Migrantales 2.0 has been designed by the 4ourcommunication teamwork:
Angela Piredda, Mauro Barbato, Mario Sini, Francesco Ruiu
4ourcommunication developed a demo of a web platform, called Migrantales 2.0, where immigrants living in Italy can tell their stories and express their ideas on specific topics.
The main objective of the project is to offer an opportunity of self expression and visibility for those points of view that are usually not considered in the news agendas.
The topics of discussion can either be decided by the Migrantales 2.0 editorial board, either proposed and then voted by the users of this platform. Each topic represents a web call to which users can apply submitting different typologies of contents. Users can post videos, photos or, more simply, write and upload their stories. These contents will be available on Migrantales 2.0 and geo-referenced on the basis of country where the migrants come from. In this way, the network enabled by Migrantales 2.0 aims at reinforcing the value of the identity of migrant people, visually showing the route of the different contributions. Indeed, by the use of maps the users can position their contribution in respect to the origin country but they can also track their transfers until the arrival in Italy.
Migrantales 2.0 is not just intended as a standalone web application but it can be used as a service running on existing websites dedicated to immigrants (e.g. stranieriitalia.it).
By sharing immigrant experiences on targeted topics the Migrantales 2.0 project wants to create a networked community in order to support interaction and exchange among the users, to stimulate an interest on the addressed topics and to share knowledge about immigrants everyday lives.
