Socialmedia Campaign 2nd flight

UNMUTE REFUGEES!
The campaign UNMUTE Refugees – 2nd Flight was nominated for the German Prize for Online Communication (DPOK) in three categories, including Emotional Campaign of the Year, recognizing its impact in giving young refugees a powerful and authentic voice in the public discourse.
UNMUTE Refugees – 2nd Flight continues the mission to shift the public conversation about displacement — from speaking about refugees to listening to them. Building on the initial campaign, the second flight refined the strategy by placing a stronger focus on personal stories and emotional connection. Real hostile comments from social media remained the narrative trigger, inviting young people with lived refugee experience to respond with their own realities. Instead of countering hate with arguments, the campaign created space for authentic voices to be heard. At its core, the project demonstrates a simple communication principle:
When people are given the space to speak for themselves, the conversation changes.
