Massive flows and migrations happen because of various factors, such as wars, socio-environmental issues, the spread of poverty in specific areas, and other economic causes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;\">The impact of social media is minimal, different causes influence migrants\u2019 movement, which often isn\u2019t predetermined. Usually, migration is tied to a need and it is planned only to a small extent. People tend to migrate depending on the financial resources available to them. For sure, a more privileged migration phenomenon, such as reuniting with family members abroad or migrating with a work or study visa, assures the opportunity to plan the route.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><b>And how can social media influence the perception that migrants have of the countries they are trying to reach?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ilaria<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: For sure, social media might help understand the context which is welcoming the person migrating. Even if, sometimes, what is perceived isn\u2019t the exact reality. Migrants\u2019 idea of the place they are moving to is often distorted.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;\">Research on economic migrants who work in the agriculture field shows that people tend to represent their life in a new country in a way which often doesn\u2019t reflect reality, in order to give their family the impression of a better life condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;\">So, social media doesn\u2019t have a large impact on the numbers of migration. However, they are socially helpful as they contribute both to establishing new relationships and maintaining the old ones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><b>As Amnesty Italia, you use social media to inform and also involve people in the fight for the protection of human rights.

Dall\u2019insistente pubblicit\u00e0 su Facebook, ai continui aggiornamenti della vita dei nostri amici su Instagram, siamo continuamente circondati dagli effetti di questa rivoluzione digitale e comunicativa. Ma tutti sono soggetti a questa influenza? Che ruolo hanno i social media nella vita della persone che tentano di scappare dal proprio paese?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/it.linkedin.com\/in\/ilaria-masinara-44a6031a\">Ilaria Masinara<\/a>, campaign manager di <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.it\/\">Amnesty International Italia<\/a>, spiega come i flussi migratori contemporanei siano influenzati dai social media e come i migranti interagiscono con con le diverse community online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><b>Per quanto riguarda le relazioni tra social media e le migrazioni, si potrebbe dire che i flussi migratori degli ultimi anni sono in qualche modo connessi oppure influenzati dal sempre maggiore utilizzo dei social?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;\">Ilaria: Analizzando i numeri dei flussi migratori, sicuramente non presentano una correlazione lineare con l\u2019utilizzo dei social media. I grossi flussi e le grandi migrazioni avvengono in occasione di fenomeni, quali guerre, impatti socio ambientali molto forti, impoverimenti dell\u2019area, e quindi eventi correlati alle migrazioni economiche. L\u2019impatto dei social \u00e8 minimo. Sono altre le cause che motivano lo spostamento, che molto spesso non \u00e8 neanche predeterminato a priori. Di solito, la migrazione \u00e8 legata alla necessit\u00e0 e solo in minima parte alla pianificazione. Infatti, le persone tendono spostarsi in base alle risorse anche economiche che hanno. Ovviamente, alcuni casi permettono un fenomeno migratorio pi\u00f9 privilegiato, come quando ad esempio si tenta di raggiungere parte della famiglia gi\u00e0 in un altro paese oppure si accede ad un altro paese attraverso canali migratori diversi, come un visto lavorativo o per motivi di studio o di ricongiungimento familiare.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><b>E in questo caso, in quali modi i social possono influenzare la percezione del paese che il migrante tenta di raggiungere?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: Helvetica;\">Ilaria: In questi casi i social possono sicuramente aiutare l\u2019interpretazione del contesto. Chi migra non ha in mente una migrazione, \u00e8 un fenomeno di tappe che si susseguono una all&#8217;altra\u00a0 e quello che viene percepito non \u00e8 facilmente interpretabile. Infatti, spesso l\u2019idea \u00e8 quella che viene diffusa da\u00a0 cerchie amicali ed \u00e8 falsata. Dagli studi sui migranti economici nel settore agricolo, si percepisce una tendenza a rappresentare la propria vita sul nuovo territorio in maniera diversa dalla realt\u00e0, per dare anche alla famiglia un&#8217;impressione di condizioni di vita migliori. Nonostante non abbiano un fortissimo impatto sui numeri, i social contribuiscono al mantenimento delle relazioni sociali,\u00a0 aumentando la cerchia di persone che si conoscono e mantenendo i legami con le persone del luogo d\u2019origine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\"><b>Quindi, Amnesty utilizza le proprie piattaforme social per informare ma soprattutto coinvolgere quante pi\u00f9 persone nella battaglia per la salvaguardia dei diritti umani. I migranti possono essere considerati parte attiva e integrante del vostro pubblico online?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica;\">Ilaria: Probabilmente, come Amnesty, siamo percepiti come contenitore di segnalazioni. Oggi c\u2019\u00e8 l\u2019intenzione di cominciare a creare contenuti pensati a livello di peer researchers, che includano nel discorso e nella creazione del contenuto possibili gruppi di attivisti migranti, che si occupino sia di ricerca e sia di azione. In questo modo i peer researcher con un background migratorio permetteranno una maggiore diversity all\u2019interno del movimento e della nostra sezione, che oggi rispecchia ancora la composizione del Nostro paese.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Palatino;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anna De Martin<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00e8 una studentessa di 18 anni, frequentante il Liceo Classico Leopardi Majorana nella citt\u00e0 di Pordenone.
