"Turisti non a caso" (in english "Tourists not by chance") is a social association aimed to analyze and show aspects of migration which are left aside by common mass media.
The core of our work is in fact developing enquiries and documentaries showing how immigration to Italy takes its shape, which are its reasons and how it is perceived when it is still at the stage of mere emigration, that is the decision of an individual to leave his own country for another.
We believe that this couldn't be done without a real and full immersion in the places where this phenomenon takes its roots. That's why we organized this trip to Morocco, a Country which presents a consistent migration rate, a relevant part of which is represented by immigration to Italy.
We hope this trip will help us to better understand and relate ourselves to a phenomenon too often pointed out by Italian media and politicians with too little information about it, as witnessed by the strong presence of stereotypes when it comes to debating immigration in our country.
So, this blog is finally ready and we'll try to keep you posted along the way with our best stories from the road.
Stay tuned!
