Understanding the Impact of Narratives and Perceptions of Europe on Migration and Providing Practices, Tools and Guides for Practitioners

Descrizione del progetto

Comprendere le percezioni erronee dei migranti sull’Europa

Le teorie esistenti sulla migrazione si concentrano su fattori di spinta e attrazione e, ovviamente, tra i principali fattori di spinta vi sono fattori economici, sociali e politici, che spiegano come si formano i desideri di migrazione. La stessa importanza riveste il modo in cui i luoghi vengono immaginati o intesi come desiderabili o attraenti, soprattutto qualora vi siano determinate narrazioni false in grado di influenzare le decisioni di migrazione. Il progetto PERCEPTIONS, finanziato dall’UE, si concentrerà sulla percezione delle persone e individuerà le percezioni erronee dell’Unione europea al di fuori di essa. Il progetto scandaglierà i social media e le nuove reti di comunicazione nella diffusione di narrazioni e miti che circolano sull’UE e svilupperà raccomandazioni politiche e piani d’azione.

Obiettivo

Narratives of a “better life” that can become reality elsewhere have always been shaping human migration. The image or idea of a “promised land”, however, might not be real, and newcomers are often faced with obstacles and challenges. Certain narratives and perceptions of Europe influence migration aspirations and false images can not only lead to problems when the image does not hold true, but it might also even lead to security threats or risks to migrants. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance to understand and investigate narratives about Europe, how these can lead to problems and threats, how they are distributed, and, in the next step, find ways to react and counteract them. Perceptions of Europe are formed in the country of residence, and they are based on a multitude of sources. Social media and new communication networks, in addition, have increased the scope and the intensity of distribution of such narratives; furthermore, so-called filter bubbles and echo chambers can lead to isolated misperceptions that are not corrected. Due to new communication technologies, false or incorrect claims become life on their own, raising expectations or disapproval. At the same time, however, these technologies and communication networks might also provide a channel to set an exaggerated image straight and promote a more realistic narrative. It is, therefore, the aim of the PERCEPTIONS project to identify and understand the narratives and perceptions of the EU abroad, assess potential issues related to the border and external security in order to allow better planning and outline reactions and countermeasures. For that purpose, the project will conduct research on the narratives and the myths that are circulating about the EU in countries West- and Central Mediterranean areas. Based on the research insights, the consortium will develop a PERCEPTIONS framework model including policy recommendations and action plans.
