Pardesi South Movie
Cecelia Seiner
Below are short videos in Nepali, Maithili and English by returned migrants and those working for migrant organisations sharing their views on why pardesi.org.np is the go-to place for Nepali migrants and their families. Some of the videos also make reference to a second element of our work in Nepal which has been the development of training resources on the importance of safe, wise and secure/private use of digital tech, which are now available in six Nepali languages.
Our work is ensuring that migration reduces social, regional and global inequalities and contributes to development in the Global South. Explore MIDEQ analysis and research across our corridors and themes.
Drawing on MIDEQ's Theory of Change, our impact interventions ensure that our research supports and informs policies, interventions and approaches which generate the changes we want to see. Through our Theory of Change we identified three pathways to impact: building academic capacity; improving the lives of migrants and their families and changing narratives. Explore our pathways to impact across our corridors and themes.
On 10 December 2023, the team launched their digital interventions in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, to eighty participants from government, civil society, private sector, international organisations and digital tech students. The two key interventions that Hari Harindranath, Tim Unwin and Maria Rosa Lorini had contributed in created were presented: the pardesi.org.np portal and resources that can be used to train migrants in the safe, wise and secure (or private) uses of digital tech, which have been designed to be especially useful in the Migrant Resource Centres.
Following this launch the team headed to another major Nepali city, Pokhara, for a second launch event. Twenty-six participants from local government, civil society, the private sector, media and digital tech students attended. More details can be found on the UNESCO Chair in ICT4D website.
