The CLARINET project’s general objective is to raise awareness on migrants’ positive contribution to EU societies among EU citizens. The CLARINET project is led by the Municipality of Lampedusa and Linosa, which collaborates with a multi-stakeholder partnership composed by 7 other Local Authorities located in border areas (border LAs), 9 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) based in 8 EU countries, and 2 international networks.
The project targets border LAs and their residents (EU citizens and TCNs) as short-term beneficiaries, other EU LAs as medium beneficiaries and residents in other EU LAs (EU citizens and TCNs) as long-term beneficiaries. In a first step, the project will identify local authorities’ good practices in public communication campaigns on migration and integration through the implementation of the “Award for the best LA public communication campaigns promoting positive narratives on migration and integration in the EU” and the production of the CLARINET Positive Storytelling Kit on Migration for Local Authorities.
In a second step, the project will empower border local authorities to implement successful evidence-based public communication campaigns on migration and integration, through on-the-job training and On-demand support provided by migration and communication experts to border LAs staff. As a result, LAs will implement public communication campaigns involving TCNs and EU citizens testimonies, thanks to the collaboration with artists involved in local residencies. The project also plans to promote at EU level good practices of LAs communication campaigns on migration and integration. To do so, the CLARINET web-platform will be developed in 8 languages, featuring an online map of good practices; a social media campaign will be implemented in 8 EU countries. The project results will be promoted through a final event; dissemination at EU level will be ensured by the European Coalition of Cities Against Racism.
