In order to try and quell the tide of refugees crossing the Mediterranean, the Italian government has launched an awareness campaign to try and get refugees to think about the realities of their journey to Europe and ultimately discourage them from making the long journey to Italy. The above video is one of many made for the campaign known as Aware Migrants, which in particular is aimed at economic migrants who are want to come to Europe to escape poverty rather than those fleeing persecution.
The above video is one of many on the Aware Migrants website. The site focuses mainly on the stories of migrants who made the journey to Europe and the hardships they had to face.
