IDEAL-M is composed of 5 work packages. From December 2020, the partners are busy developing the work package n°3. What is it about?
Main objectives :
The work package 3 aims to a thorough assessment of the key target groups as well as media channels related to the project. Under WP3 the consortium analysed the typical prospective migrant from Senegal creating a series of target groups of the media campaign.
The work package 3 assesses the different communication channels available for launching the media campaign of the work package 4. Among the communication channels, one also found organizations and structures such as community centres and CSOs in Europe and in Senegal, that could be used as vehicles of reaching target audiences. However, because of the health issue caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, no trips could be done.
In a nutshell, this work package aims to identify the typical Senegalese that should be targeted by the information campaign and, as a second step, analyse the different channels available, identifying those that are more suitable for really reaching the target audiences.
​
​
The objectives of this work package are as follows :
​
• Target audiences assessment formulating a priority list on who the information campaign should target.
• Communication channels assessment formulating a list of the most prominent and expected mechanisms to reaching the relevant target groups.
• Draw conclusions and recommendations based on the findings.

For each objective, the program plans several milestones:
-
Target audiences assessment
PRSD -Providers of Social Responses to the Development-
and GMF -The Greek Forum of Migrants- draft a common research design that is focused in relation with Senegalese diaspora communities in all partner countries : Malta, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Greece.
