INTRODUCTION This Booklet is born in the framework of the "Project Building Activity: New Ways to Communicate Migration Issues" (2017-2-ES02-KA105-010008), in order to achieve two goals. First, identify best practices on how to communicate migration issues (without stereotypes and creating new narratives). Second, collect tools and resources that can be use to develop the fist point (communicate migration issues (without stereotypes and creating new narratives).
!
This project achieved, through the exchange of best practices and the design of a Strategic Partnership, to develop new strategies to give visibility to the positive aspects of migration and the contributions of migrant people to European society. The above was achieved, especially, in the mobility event of the project celebrated between 16-20th July 2018 among youth workers from Greece, Italy, and Spain.
!
In this regard, the Booklet systematises the best practices in four categories: news, culture, sports and networking. Where you will find the following best practices: Athens Coordination Center for Migrant and Refugee issues; Mediterranean; Antiracist; Earth Refugee; Manifesta 12; Humanae; Migrantour; Festival Sole Luna; I am a migrant; Stop Rumores; and Inmigracionalismo. With a special mention to the European Migration Film Festival.
On the other side, the Booklet present you the following resources: SOS Mediterranee; Migration Data Portal; Gallup; Kahoot; Not just numbers; Positive images; and Global Education & Youth Work: Toolkit for food, migration and media topics.
!
We really hope that these best practices and resources can help you to design, develop and evaluate positive communication strategies regarding migration issues. This is important because, nowadays, it is recurrent to hear, either in the public debate or in private conversations, the same stereotypes about migrant or refugee people: "they are too many", "they do n o t w o r k " , " t h e y a b u s e s o c i a l b e n e fi t s " , " t h e y a re criminals" (Vazquez , 1999) or, in recent years, "they are terrorists".
!
With all the above, we can only thank to all the youth workers that have been the soul and spirit of this project. As well as to all the partners who supported this project: Human Rights Youth Organisation, Academy of Entrepreneurship, Salamanca Acoge, and Europe Direct Salamanca. Last but not least, the project will also like to thank the Spanish Youth Institute, the Castilla y Leรณn Youth Institute, and the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission.

Yours sincerely,
CONTEXT
GREECE Greece is a country of Southern Europe that is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Its capital is Athens and, currently, its population is about 11 million people. Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilization, being the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy and literature, political science, and the Olympic Games among others. A founding member of the United Nations, Greece was the tenth member to join the European Communities (precursor to the European Union) and has been part of the Eurozone since 2001.
!
It is also a member of numerous other international institutions, including the Council of Europe, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and others. Greece's unique cultural heritage, large tourism industry, prominent shipping sector, and geostrategic importance classify it as a middle power. It is the largest economy in the Balkans, where it is an important regional investor.
!
Greece is a country that is famous for its hospitality, so giving asylum to refugees is no exception to that trait that defines the Greeks. From 2015 until now, millions of people have passed through Greece on their way to Northern Europe. The majority of them did not intend to stay, but they used Greece as an entry point to Europe. Most of them entered the country from its coastal border with Turkey, via the islands of the northern Aegean Sea.
Between January and December 2016 alone, 171,909 migrants arrived in Greece. Due to the legal framework of the country and the problems in terms of lack of resources, mindset, and coherent and integrated EU and National strategies concerning migrants and refugees, the migrants/refugees arriving in Greece stay for more than 3 years.
!
Since the implementation of the European-Turkey Joint Statement on March 20, 2016, a division into two big groups of refugees was created: those who arrived before the 20th of March were transferred to the mainland and those who arrived after that date are stranded in the Greek islands. At the same time, the closure of the so-called Balkan route, the border between FYROM and Greece, had the effect of leaving thousands of refugees and migrants stranded in Greece.
!
One of the consequences is that Greece has rapidly transformed from a country of transit to a country of containment. The already reduced options for moving onwards, for more than 60,000 refugees and migrants that reached the country before the 20th of March, came to challenge the policy responses so far. In January 2018, 4,752 asylum seekers had applied for asylum, out of which 1,213 were Syrians and 967 were Iraqis. So almost 50% of the asylum seekers in January 2018 came from two countries.
When it comes to the areas with the majority of applications, Attica leads with 30%, followed by Thessaloniki and Lesvos. The 3 of them together constitute a number of almost 60%. An interesting fact is that Attica in 2016 had 14,000 applications, the biggest annual number in a single location, followed by Lesvos that had almost 12,000 in 2017.
!
In 2017, more than four-fifths (82%) of asylum seekers in the EU were younger than 35 years old, with nearly one third (31%) of the total number of applicants being minors. This age distribution of asylum applicants was common in almost all of the EU Member States, including Greece, with the largest percentage of applicants being those aged 18-34.
!
At the same time, the distribution by gender shows that more men than women were seeking asylum. These figures, that show an incoming population that is predominantly male and at a productive age, can lead to the working theory that at least 80% of the current refugees will be seeking employment or other means of income in the coming years. Therefore, it would be in the collective interest and everyone's benefit for these people to be legally employed, although the unemployment rate for Greek citizens is above 20% and the youth unemployment rate is over 40%.
ITALY In 2017, 5.9¹ millions of migrants were residing in Italy, counting for 10% of the entire population (UN DESA, 2017). Because this data refers to international migrants residing in the country, the data related to the presence of refugees and asylum seekers is considerably different. While refugees are 216.000 counting for 0.3% of the total population, asylum seeker in 2016 counted for only 0.2% of the total population, specifically, 99.9 million. In the process of perception building on migration issues, mass media have been playing a crucial role. In Italy, the attention posed and the tone used to describe the topic are exaggerated than the actual situation of the country. This overreaction of media on the topic and the dialectic used to describe it, have created wide misperception and consequently the increase of prejudice, racism, and violence, direct and indirect. The current unstable economic situation in the country has exacerbated the social conflict, which has created blindness to reality. This blindness, –also due to the role of media– do not allow to underline the benefits of migration² and tend to focus on negative aspects connected to migrants –e.g. crimes committed by migrants, the rhetoric of job stealing, the government's expenditures on immigration etc. [1] The entire Italian population count for 60.6 millions people. [2] To name just one, the president of INPS (the national institute for the pension system), Tito Boeri, stated that if Italy wants to continue to sustain its pension and welfare system, more entries and regular workers in the national territory are needed. He also defined the 2017 decision to close the borders as a disaster, with a projection for 2040 of 73 billion losses for the institute and thus for the entire nation (Il Sole 24 Ore, 2017).
All aspects that can be easily be dismantled by any accurate research. An example of this blindness is the perception of the number of migrants present in the country. According to the Eurispes report (2018), only 28.9% of citizens is aware that foreigners in the country count for 8% of the population. more than half of the sampling overestimate migrant’s presence. 35% believe is 16% and the 25,4% believe is 24% (one resident out of four). When looking at the way media present migration issues, there is at least three major issues that are constraining people able to be truly informed. First, the terminology used in the narration of immigration, the news is in fact often reported using discriminatory terms. For example, when reporting a crime, the news tends to underline the nationality, ethnicity or the legal status of the person only if the subject is a migrant. This method leads to the over dramatisation of crimes committed by migrants as these were the major proportion of crimes committed in the country.
!
Second, the improper use of terminology creates also confusion among the difference between migrants, refugees, asylum seekersÂł. In the Italian news is common to hear the word illegal immigrant or clandestine, which besides being discriminatory is also false, no man is illegal, at most is irregular. [3] An asylum seeker is someone who is seeking international protection but whose claim for refugee status has not yet been determined. In contrast, a refugee is someone who has been recognised under the 1951 Convention relating to the status of refugees to be a refugee (Parliament of Australia, 2011, p. 2).
Third, the differentiation between economic migrants VS refugees. The latter is slightly more accepted than the former which is often considered to be a job stealer in the already very complicated Italian labor market.
!
In conclusion, the report of Eurobarometer (2017) and the one of info-cooperation (2017) state that only 6% of Italians believe that immigration is an opportunity (EU average is 20%) 51% (one out of two) believe is a problem and 55% believe integration doesn't work. However, in the acceptance index of migrants, Italy scored a 6.49 (0-9 range) almost in line with the European average of 5.62 (Gallup, 2016). Finally, there is a fundamental contradiction in a country wherein 2016, 285.000 Italians left to find better job opportunities (IDOS, 2017), and treat people who are trying to get a better future as one of the main problems of the country.
SPAIN In the last 20 years, Spain has become a destination for millions of migrants. In 1998, only 1.6% of those registered were foreigners. In other words, an average of half a million people. Today the figure exceeds four and a half million, which is equivalent to almost 10% of the population. In 2018 a total of 4,719,418 foreigners resided in Spain, of whom 2,367,176 were men and 2,352,242 were women (INE, 2018). Because these data refer to international migrants residing in the country, the data related to the presence of refugees and asylum seekers are different.
!
In 2017, Spain received more applicants for international protection than any other year, 31,120, and granted refugee status to 595 persons. However, it denied protection to 65% of the people whose case it resolved. But at the same time, the Asylum and Refuge Office of the Ministry of the Interior is completely collapsed: at the end of February 2018, 42,025 people were awaiting the resolution of their application.
!
It is important to point out that one of the serious problems faced by immigrants in Spain today is not to fall into the criticisms and stereotypes that despite the work carried out by certain professionals such as sociologists or anthropologists, the media spoils due to the "negative frame" they usually describe regarding immigration. This has influenced a citizen perception of the phenomenon that revealed growing symbolic racism towards immigrants, feeding negative clichĂŠs.
The problem is so serious that the majority of the current population in Spain does not accept the benefits that immigration can have in the country. There are so many stereotypes that according to a study carried out by the CISยน in 2017 on "Attitudes towards the immigrant population", in the question "When you hear the word immigration, what is the first thing that comes to mind? 5.5% of the population answered "privileges before the Spaniards", 3.5% "negative impact on the labor market" and only 1.4% "feeling of empathy and solidarity".
!
This is why immigration has become the fifth most worrying concern among Spaniards, behind unemployment, corruption, politicians and economic problems, although only a minority (2.6%) places it at the top of the problems.
!
During the years when the crisis was most established in Spain (2010-2015), the immigrant population was one of those that this economic recession hit hardest. A report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Commission shows how the situation of immigrants has been disadvantaged in recent years both in Spain and the rest of Europe. [1] Centro de Investigaciones Sociolรณgicas (CIS): this is an autonomous body, attached to the Ministry of the Presidency of the Government of Spain, whose purpose is to study Spanish society, mainly through survey research. [2] Referring to jobs with occasional, temporary, indirect and zero hour contracts. This type of work is increasingly used to replace direct and permanent jobs. Those who do these jobs often lack job security and generally earn lower wages, have limited social protection and few or no benefits. According to the country, the ten sectors with the most precarious jobs currently in Spain are: ICT and IT consultants, hotel and catering professionals in fast food establishments, home delivery workers, shop assistants, product promoters and supermarket replenishers, security guards, domestic workers, service assistants and dependency assistants.
This report revealed that in Spain 40% of the immigrant population lives in relative poverty. In other words, they maintain their household with less than 60% of the average income and that this rate of relative poverty among children under 16 exceeds 50%. These data are also related to the low possibilities currently found in the labor market in Spain. This is due to the fact that the crisis has caused Spanish citizens to start looking for opportunities in the precarious jobs² that immigrants in Spain used to accept. That is why the employment rates of foreigners fell by 20 percentage points during the crisis, more than double what happened among those born in Spain.
!
In conclusion, the Study carried out by the CIS in 2017 on "Attitudes towards the immigrant population" in Spain states that only 1.4% of the population considers that "immigrants provoke positive effects on the country's economy and culture". According to Ă ngel de Prada (2005), Spain has seen an "increase in the rejection of immigrants" even though it is one of the countries that receive the most immigrants from all over Europe. "Furthermore, this rejection of immigrants manifests itself in different ways. Some more expressed in the form of physical and verbal aggression, and others subtler, which remain in the plane of looks or derogatory comments" (Valles, 2015). This fact is contradictory if we stop to think about the quantity of population that emigrates from Spain to other countries (concretely in 2017 there were 1,345,862 according to data published by the UN) in order to find new opportunities.
BEST PRACTICES
NETWORKING
OBJECTIVES: The initiative aims at the efficient coordination between the municipal authorities and stakeholders operating within the city, such as national and international NGOs, international organisations, and migrant and refugee community groups. Our goal is to shape the necessary conditions for the smooth integration of migrants and refugees currently living in the city of Athens, but also for dealing with emergency situations linked with future migration flows.Â
!
TIP: In this sense, we could do different activities with young volunteers where we can collect data on the migrant's needs and in then, look for ways to fulfil those needs and help them to make a step forward on a more stable life in their new country.

SPORTS
OBJECTIVES: A sporting, artistic and cultural event whose first edition took place in Palermo in June 2008. The aim of the event is the promotion of intercultural relations between the different components that live in the metropolitan city, trying to question the central / periphery dichotomies and inclusion/exclusion.
!
TIP: Organising different activities like sports championships that allow the creation of teams with diverse characteristics without considering religion, genders, age, or backgrounds and twisting the games to make them more inclusive, for example, a kind of football when a person in a wheelchair can play too. Bonus: It'll be fun if you add art qualities to that game, for example, playing in a white sheet and painting the ball of the colours of the teams so then we have a work of art at the end of the game.

CULTURE
OBJECTIVES: Manifesta is the go-to place for discovering emerging artists, thought-provoking ideas, new artworks specially commissioned for the event, and creative experiences in dialogue with spectacular locations of each host city. Manifesta will focus on evolving from an art exhibition into an interdisciplinary platform for social change, introducing holistic urban research and legacy-oriented programming as the core of its model.
!
TIPS: Creating world-wide art festivals focusing on the inclusion of minorities, supporting the new artist and people with the interest in art with the creation of different expressions. Also, creating workshops where groups can make collective pieces of art that shows there's not really a big difference between the participants.

CULTURE
OBJECTIVES: Humanae is a work in progress, who intends to deploy a chromatic range of the different human skin colours. There is no previous selection of participants and there are no classifications relating to nationality, gender, age, race, social class or religion. Nor is there an explicit intention to finish it on a specific date. It is open in all senses and it will include all those who want to be part of this colossal global mosaic. The presentation of the range of color shades induces the viewer to reflect on one of the dual meanings containing the word identity: that associated with equality.
!
TIP: Creating images and multicultural murals with all the diversity of skin colours there are, this way when you represent the different colours in things we see every day the group will appreciate more the diverse world we live in.

CULTURE
OBJECTIVES: The campaign uses the testimonials of migrants to connect people with the human stories of migration. Thus far, IAAM has seen 1,200 profiles published. The anecdotes and memories shared on the platform help us understand what words such as “integration”, “multiculturalism” and “diversity” truly mean. Through stories collected by our teams around the world, diversity finally finds a human face. Share your story with us.
!
TIP: Collect testimonials of migrants and ask them what it means for them the three keywords: Integration, multiculturalism, and diversity. Then, with help of a focal group of local people in the community, ask them the same question: What it means for your integration, multiculturalism and diversity? After they answer that, show them the testimonials of the migrants and share their stories, and ask again, what it means to them? You should have feedback with a different, more inclusive perspective.

NEWS
OBJECTIVES: An initiative that promotes the creation of an AntiMurder Agency, with the collaboration of entities and individuals in an individual capacity, and whose objective is to combat the negative and uncertain rumors that hinder the coexistence in diversity in our closest environments.
!
TIP: In groups play different games that allows the participants to see how easy is for the truth to become a rumor. For example, The game where a person says something to another one in the ear, and they pass along the message until the last one. Also, realising workshops where you write stereotypes on migrants and then together, show proof of the things that are not true or not always correct.

STOP RUMORES
NEWS
OBJECTIVES: Good journalism avoids sensationalism to offer true information adjusted to the facts. However, in an almost unconscious way, sensationalism sneaks into news about immigration a series of phrases and approaches that are themselves a form of sensationalism. We call IMMIGRATIONALISM this sensationalism in the news regarding immigration. Journalists have a huge responsibility in shaping the social image of immigrants. “Immigrationalism” is very present in Spanish media and it generates fear and hatred. If we come together to fight it, we will be helping create a more tolerant and democratic society.
!
TIP: Collect all the stories about migrants in the news and do a checkup with the real migrant about their story, so you can compare what is real and what is not, then do a story piece about the real story. Also, it'll be useful for preparing workshops on journalism and how to avoid sensationalism in it.

SPE ME CIAL NT ION
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this festival is to promote a positive narrative about migration and to give visibility to the contributions that citizens of third countries have made to European Union (EU) societies. At the same time, it is expected that this festival (in general) and the short films to be presented (in particular) can contribute to transforming the perception that EU citizens have about migrants. In order to achieve the above objectives, a short film competition on the theme of promoting a positive narrative about migration and giving visibility to the contributions made by migrant people will be launched in each country for new or amateur filmmakers (youth workers).
!
TIP: Creating creative short films that show the opportunity migration represents on the society, and also, the lives of the immigrant while they adapt to the new reality so people could be more sensitive to the why’s and how’s they made that decision.
