Data is a vital resource for youth activists, students and educators. As a data actor, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) engages with youth to encourage critical reflection on public narratives around migration and displacement, increase capacity to understand, interpret and use migration and displacement data, and support innovation from leaders of the future.
Through a multifaceted engagement approach, DTM hopes to increase the impact and use of IOM’s data and empower youth voices. This engagement is founded upon three pillars: student research projects, data workshops and events with students and educators, and academic partnerships.
In line with these modalities of engagement, this webpage is a repository to document the outputs that are produced through this meaningful collaboration and showcase powerful, and insightful pieces that have stemmed from this interaction.
