Europe for Citizens – New forms of European citizenship in migration era

Sondaggio Progetto “NECME- Nuove forme di cittadinanza europea nell’era della migrazione”

Con il lancio ufficiale di un sondaggio online sulla percezione pubblica della migrazione, il progetto europeo “NECME- Nuove forme di cittadinanza europea nell’era della migrazione” è iniziato in 16 diversi paesi europei.
Il progetto, finanziato nell’ambito del programma Europa per i cittadini dell’Unione Europea, coinvolge 17 organizzazioni della società civile provenienti da 16 paesi diversi, ed è coordinato dalla Fondazione Falcone, nata nel 1992 in seguito all’uccisione del magistrato Giovanni Falcone nella Strage di Capaci.
Il progetto mira a esplorare come i fenomeni migratori influenzano la società civile europea in termini di nuove esperienze di impegno civico e cittadinanza attiva.
Il punto di partenza è appunto un sondaggio online, lanciato simultaneamente in tutti i paesi del progetto, che mira a comprendere quale sia la percezione fra i cittadini dei fenomeni migratori.
Il sondaggio, elaborato dall’Università di Palermo e dall’Università di Valmiera (Lettonia) permetterà di cogliere e analizzare la percezione dei fenomeni migratori e dei migranti nella società europea, anche analizzando come i migranti possono essere vittime della criminalità organizzata o esserne coinvolti.

“Il costante flusso migratorio durante gli ultimi anni sta influenzando la società civile europea – ha detto Maria Falcone, presidente della “Fondazione Falcone” – e tutti noi dobbiamo assumere un ruolo attivo per superare xenofobi, intolleranti e discriminanti nei comportamenti.
Attraverso il coinvolgimento di diversi soggetti interessati (gli insegnanti, i rappresentanti delle associazioni e delle agenzie europee, amministratori di enti pubblici, i giornalisti, le forze dell’ordine,…) e l’adozione di metodologie diverse, i partecipanti saranno stimolati ad agire, come singoli cittadini o come organizzato La società civile, per facilitare l’inserimento dei migranti nella società europea e contribuirà a creare sinergie tra società civile e gli enti pubblici, anche attraverso il ruolo del volontariato.
L’ indagine sarà condotta online durante i prossimi due mesi ed è disponibile all’indirizzo https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C5XKDLF.
I paesi coinvolti nel progetto sono: Albania, Belgio, Bulgaria, Croazia, Italia, Lettonia, Malta, Macedonia, Germania, Grecia, Polonia, Portogallo, Repubblica Ceca, Romania, Serbia, Spagna e i partners sono Associazioni non profit, fondazioni e università.
