Safe Journey

ended

Safe Journey aims to contrast irregular migration with an informative Campaign about alternatives to it. The strategy is to empower possible migrants with concrete information that can drive a conscious change of attitude toward irregular migration and design a new “safe journey” for life, either in Morocco or elsewhere. Toward this end the partnership will in one hand give voice to credible witnesses of victims of irregular migration and of life conditions in the EU, such as diaspora communities, migrating women and returning migrants, on the other, set in place a panoply of services realised with the inclusive participation of stakeholders, with whom the partnership will collaborate to building local capacity. This will ensure durability and sustainability of the action in the four targeted territorial areas. The campaign plan will answer the EU needs and fill the gaps identified in on-going thematic actions in Morocco. One target is Moroccans and in-ransit sub Saharans for which emigration is a precise goal and are excluded from the official migratory services of reception. They will be contacted via proximity interventions, provided personalized information, also of receiving communities, and followed during migration. A second target is high-school minors and their educators which will both be trained and supported to the implementation of an extra-curricular educational program where dialog, confront, and creativity will be combined to develop selfconsciousness and harmless life plans. The third target is unemployed women and men and Moroccan socio-economic influencers that sustain the local economy. Several training and employment services that take into consideration supply and demand needs will be offered. A robust dissemination action will widespread the Campaign key messages and keep high the visibility of its actions and outputs. The latter will be mainstreamed by the collaboration with thematic EU initiatives and their presentation to Institutions.
