Kurze Beschreibung / Abstract:
The boom in video conferencing software driven by the pandemic has had a noticeable impact on communication in work and private spheres. International summits have in the past revolved around face-to-face meetings and direct exchange. But many of these conferences have now been cancelled or moved online. What are the effects of this "zoomification" - and what does it mean for civil society's opportunities for participation and influence? The 13th edition of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) provided a chance to gain some initial impressions regarding the opportunities and weaknesses of the new communication platforms. The Forum was hosted by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) under the theme "The Future of Human Mobility: Innovative Partnerships for Sustainable Development".
