Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Children on the move face severe risks, yet reliable definition and data for protection is lacking. To address this, IDAC released the publication Children on the Move: Key Terms, Definitions and Concepts, providing essential definitions, data, and best practices. The publication urges stakeholders to collaborate on improving data collection and use. Standardizing migration terms is key to accurately counting and supporting these children, ensuring evidence-based policies for their wellbeing.
- Inspiration
- These isometric illustrations visually define the experiences of children on the move across three scenarios: armed conflict, climate crisis, and pandemics. With vibrant colors and detailed compositions, they effectively communicate terms, definitions, and data, offering an informative and insightful perspective. The design balances clarity and depth, making complex issues accessible while emphasizing the urgency of these global challenges.
- Research
- The brief begins with a conceptual framework that illustrates IDAC’s definition of children on the move, identifying the key groups that comprise this large and diverse population. It then defines, discusses and presents the latest global data for each of these groups, highlighting the children on the move for whom there are limited or no available data. Sample scenarios are included to illustrate how this terminology can be applied to real-life situations and how children may shift from one category to another. The brief concludes with a table summarizing the data and the data gaps for each of the groups of children discussed.
- Challenge
- Migration and displacement terms are often defined inconsistently across institutions, laws, and organizations. However, without clear and standardized definitions, accurately assessing the number and circumstances of migrant and displaced children is impossible. This reference document aims to establish a shared understanding of children on the move—who they are, the subgroups they belong to, what differentiates them, and how they are counted (or not counted).
- Realization and Technology
- Adobe Illustrator is the major tool used to create the isometric infographic illustrations. Adobe Indesign is mostly used for layout design of the publication.
- Operation and Interaction
- The publication is open to IDAC organizations and stakeholders for collaboration in enhancing data collection and utilization. Standardizing migration terms is essential for accurately identifying and supporting these children, enabling evidence-based policies that safeguard their well-being.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project began in May 2023 in New York, USA, and concluded in August 2024, also in New York. It was later showcased at multiple UN locations, including New York and Copenhagen, as well as at the second IDAC Annual Conference in December 2024 in Morocco.
