Migration Data Literacy Enhancement Advance Non-Discrimination in North Africa (M-LEARN) Following an increasing awareness of migration in the international arena, it has become imperative to disseminate accurate and unbiased migration information, which is built on a correct understanding and interpretation of migration data. This in turn fosters an environment of non-discrimination that is inclusive of diversity in gender, back ground and migration status, in ever-changing and increasingly heterogeneous communities. Important enablers of such environments include universities and academic institutions, together with the expression of civil society members, as these are well-trusted transmitters of important information into the public sphere. As the UN Migration Agency, IOM aims to support such dissemination through the Migration Literacy Enhancement Advance Non-Discrimination (M-LEARN) project. M-LEARN aims at embedding migration data guidance into higher educational systems. A new curriculum on migration data and statistics will be developed and rolled out. This will be achieved through the production of a university course on migration data, including a course handbook, which will be taught for the first time-ever in French in Morocco and Tunisia, and of a related online module which will be rolled out to a wider audience.
