SUMMARY:Photo Exhibition “Last Stand for Pom Mahakam” by Jan Daga
DESCRIPTION:“Last stand for Pom Mahakan” is a week-long photo exhibition to be held at SEA Junction on 16-22 January 2018 that is dedicated to the community of Fort Mahakan\, a historical heritage site located in the center of the city of Bangkok.  Mahakan Fort marks the entrance to the Royal City\, also called Ratanakosin Island. Once\, the city was encircled by a wall punctuated by 14 such forts and 16 gates and further protected by a canal\, but today Mahakan Fort is one of only two such towers that remain from the original late 18th century walls. The area in between the mighty walls and the river\, which has been home to more than 50 households over six generations\, will be turned soon into an eco-tourism spot to complement the historic fort\, which was built in the 1700s. After the park plan was delayed for over 20 years due to opposition from residents\, in recent months the evictions and demolition of all the houses considered “not of historical interest” have been carried out and large parts of the community have been relocated. This exhibition is the result of the many hours spent by Italian photographer Jan Daga with the community documenting with his camera the ongoing transformation of a lively community into lawn for a future gentrified tourist attraction. A preview of selected photos can be seen at http://seajunction.org/gallery/glimpses-of-southeast-asia/people-mahakan-fort/ and  athttp://www.jandaga.com/copia-di-stories. \nAt the opening event on 16 January at 5.30-6.30 PM\, the photographer will share his interest in Pom Mahakam and his observations as well as discussing his photo style and techniques. Thereafter there will be a panel with him and with two experts: Chatri Prakitnonthakan\, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Architecture\, Silpakorn University who specializes in historical architecture and has published on Fort Mahakam and Michael Herzfeld\, Ernest E. Monrad Professor of the Social Sciences Department of Anthropology\, Harvard University\, an anthropologist well known in Thailand for his work on heritage studies and urban planning. \n  \nShort Profile Photographer: \nJan Daga (full name Janusz Daga) is an Italian photographer and free-lance journalist based in Thailand. After graduating in communication and attaining a master degree in photography he has worked with national and international agencies and companies on communication\, marketing and visual design in Austria\, China\, Korea\, Germany\, Holland and Italy. Nowadays\, his work in Thailand is focused on vulnerable people’s life\, working conditions and daily struggles  and the contradictions of modern society in Asia (see http://www.jandaga.com). \n  \nShort Profile Speakers:  \nChatri Prakitnonthakan is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Architecture\, Silpakorn University.

SUMMARY:Public Discussion on the Outcomes of Labor Migration in South-East Asia
DESCRIPTION:In 2017 ILO and IOM conducted a study to obtain a better understanding of the factors that shape migration outcomes in Southeast Asia. The study interviewed over 1800 returnee migrant workers from Cambodia\, Viet Nam\, Lao PDR and Myanmar who had been employed in Thailand or Malaysia. The findings are published in the report Risks and rewards: Outcomes of labour migration in South-East Asia released for International Migrants Day on 18 December 2017. \nAs the report explains\, the research team developed a Migration Outcomes Index (MOI) to measure changes in the lives of migrant workers from before to after their migration. The Index broadens the way migration outcomes are measured by incorporating both social and economic elements. It represents a break not only from the narrow focus on counting remittances but also from the human trafficking paradigm that is very dominant in SE Asia. The MOI scores are calculated at the individual respondent level and indexed on a range of 0-100 to provide an accessible benchmark against which to measure progress\, the changes from before migration to after. The study also identifies the need to increase access to skills development opportunities for migrant workers. Migrants who increased the skill level of their employment from before migration to thereafter had much better long-term outcomes. \nThrough improved livelihoods\, labor migration can have a lasting impact on poverty reduction within ASEAN. The report calls for shifting the focus of labor migration governance in ASEAN towards a more migrant-centered approach. Programs should be directed at increasing the number of migrant workers who have a holistically beneficial labor migration experience\, rather than simply expanding national remittance accounts. \nTo further explore these ideas\, on 20 January 2018 at 5 PM – 6.30 PM\, SEA Junction in collaboration with ILO and Rapid Asia will hold a public discussion of the “Risks and Rewards” report. Two of the authors of the report namely Benjamin Harkins\, technical officer of ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific and Daniel Lindgren\, founder at Rapid Asia\, Ltd\, and founding partner of SEA-Junction\, and an independent migration expert Emeritus Professor Supang Chantavanich  of Chulalongkorn University will make brief presentations followed by open interaction with the participants. Substantive as well as methodological issues will be highlighted and so will possible intervention and policy options based on the findings. \n \n  \n  \nSpeakers’ Profiles \nBenjamin Harkins is the Technical Officer (Research and M&E) for the Tripartite Action to Enhance the Contribution of Labour Migration to Growth and Development in ASEAN (TRIANGLE II project). In this role\, his work has focused on enhancing the evidence base for labor migration governance within the region\, enhancing results-based management and increasing the rigor of the project’s monitoring and evaluation system. Prior to joining the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific\, he worked for four years within Southeast Asia on a broad range of migration issues\, including as Independent Evaluator for the International Organization for Migration\, Senior Researcher for the Asian Research Center for Migration\, Migration Programme Advisor for the Mekong Institute and Coordination Officer for Première Urgence Internationale.
