What we do
At Common Frames we believe in the unifying power of creating media. That is why we develop and organize film and media literacy projects for (young) newcomers. Media play an important role in how we view the world and we are convinced that making media teaches us to look at this more critically. In our projects we bring various worlds together and we look for common frames. In this way we build bridges between the world of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Participation, co-creation and ownership are at the core of our work. Together with newcomers we discover what works and we adjust our methods accordingly.
We are experts in the field of media in relation to migration and diversity and we share this knowledge through coaching, research and training. At Common Frames, we are working towards a media landscape in which everyone can participate and feel seen and heard.
