Note(s)
- Rapid changes in migratory flows towards Europe in the past decade have solidified irregular migration as a priority on the political agenda in the European Union (EU) and most of its Member States. Awareness-raising campaigns on the risks of irregular migration have been among the many responses aimed at reducing irregular migration to Europe and to prevent the exploitation of migrants by criminal networks. The European Agenda on Migration (2015) and the New Pact on Migration and Asylum (2020) underlined the need to develop an EU strategic communication approach incorporating EU and EU Member States' awareness raising and information campaigns
- The information campaigns provide information on i) the risks of irregular migration during the journey and after arrival and ii) the difficult circumstances of living irregularly in the country of destination. They intend to reduce the demand for and the risk of being smuggled and falling victim to human trafficking. They seek to ensure that (potential) migrants are enabled to make informed decisions.
- Such campaigns are communicated through different channels and can take different forms, running from traditional communication tools such as posters, leaflets, advertisements in newspapers and television commercials to community meetings and workshops, public forums held in schools, and producing movies and comic books.
