Anti-Rumors Campaign: dispelling myths about migrants

Best practice Communication and anti-rumour campaigns

The aims of the ‘Anti-Rumors Campaign: dispelling myths about migrants’ are:

• Disseminate more and better information to the people of Barcelona on the cultural diversity that exists in the city as well as to the newly arrived population with regard to the social and cultural characteristics of the city.
• Promote a programme of “Citizens’ Debates” throughout the entire city that, through guided initiatives, aim to reflect on, debate and reject stereotypical ideas surrounding cultural diversity.
• Design an urban strategy against negative rumours without foundation that make coexistence in diversity difficult, based on working in a network with different agents and social entities, promoting the figure of “the active antirumour agent”.
