What I'll cover
Lessons from liberal - what’s not really working Frames as identity stories & agenda settersReframing to open the debateResistance to reframing approaches

Lessons - More a lecture than a conversation
British Future (2014), How to talk about Immigration Slide6
Frames as identity stories & agenda setters
Populists link legitimate concerns to anti-immigant rhetoric Stories we tell ourselves to explain the complicated world, but also socialised stories People are frame-driven - Strong attempts to change can even ‘backfire’Dominant media frames/narratives are the space to make good policy
Slide7
Why frames matter? – Strong Negative Frame
Invasion, security, even identity threats Natural disaster metaphors – waves, tsunamis, swarms, avalanches
Crisis/chaos pictures Slide8
Why frames matter? – A more positive frame
Welkommeskultur/Refugees Welcome humanitarianism, compassion, duty, inclusion, workforce for the future Slide9

Resistance to reframing
It’s a weak response and we have a moral obligationBut this is sequencing, not selling outThis is fancy PR, wordsmithingNo, its a chance to structure the debateIf only they understood…Be smart about the emotional realities
