Snapshots From The Borders is a 3-year project co-funded by the European Union (EuropeAid DEAR budget line), run by 35 partners, border Local Authorities and Civil Society organisations.<\/p>\n

Snapshots From The Borders aims to improve the critical understanding of European, national and local decision makers and of public opinion about\u00a0global interdependencies determining migration flows towards European borders, in the perspective of reaching SDGs targets, especially SDG 1, 5, 10 11 and 16. Specifically, the project intends to strengthen a new horizontal, active\u00a0network among cities directly facing migration flows at EU borders, as a way to promote more effective policy coherence at all levels (European, national, local).<\/p>\n

The heart of the project is \u201cvoice and experiences (snapshots) from the borders\u201d and their broadest diffusion among European citizens. The\u00a0voice of the real protagonists\u00a0will travel from periphery to the center, at national and European level, where the decisions are taken. The project aims to inform European citizens that\u00a0migration is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon and a political issue which needs efforts and concrete actions taken by people and organization\/network at all level of society.<\/p>\n

A better understanding by Europeans of migration as a development issue paired with engagement fosters global citizenship and build strong bonds of solidarity.\u00a0Borders\u2019 direct perspective\u00a0and engagement is an added value for raising awareness, sharing knowledge, encouraging participation and showing citizens that they have an important role to play. By bringing voices and effective solutions from the borders where migration is lived directly, people will be more informed and aware of the determinants and actions and they will become protagonists in calling for a fair world. Messages reaching the EU public through media present migration as an emergency problem with negative impact oversimplifying causes and determinants.\u00a0Once people are aware of the dimension, implication, causes and solutions, they\u00a0will seek a change of attitude in terms of support for civil society.<\/p>\n

In other words, Snapshots from the borders implements a\u00a0bottom-up approach\u00a0in terms of capacity building, advocacy and network building, where local decision making and stakeholders involvement is valued as able to identify real needs and goals in the migration and development debate.<\/p>\n

Finally, the Action intends to contribute to a\u00a0new European narrative\u00a0which\u00a0re-localizes the development discourse in the Mediterranean and at other European borders: this includes a shift towards a more coherent\u00a0human rights-based approach to migration and development; new territorial policies aimed at creating decent work and sustainable production and consumption patterns; transnational and decentralized cooperation fostering strong linkages among communities; and migrants as a new human development actors participating actively in local communities at the social, economic and political levels.<\/p>\n
