Production of Human Stories Videos Tender 2

06 February 2023

In view of launching a human stories campaign in early 2024 to illustrate the diversity of reasons that drive mobility in the European Union, especially those linked with values and emotions, ECAS will commission to an experienced contractor the development of a 10 visually attractive and dynamic videos of up to 5 minutes.

 

Background

A study implemented within the framework of the REMINDER Horizon 2020 project – Evidence of the Determinants of Migration – reveals the complexity and inter-relatedness of reasons driving mobility. The study illustrates that the considerations shaping intra-EU mobility can be highly diverse and challenge conventional understandings of EU migration as largely determined by work and family. Rather, educational and career development opportunities, the desire for new experiences and challenges, preferences for particular cultures, lifestyles, political and legal systems, social norms and the pursuit of self-knowledge are highly relevant in many EU citizens’ mobility decisions.

The ECAS series of human stories based on interviews with a wide range of EU mobile citizens: pensioners, nomads, students, artists, those living in urban or in rural areas, those of different ages, social backgrounds, sexual orientation and gender will therefore portray and provoke discussions in the Member States (to be held in 2024) that intra-EU mobility decisions as the outcome of rational cost-benefit analysis cannot be explained and generalised without due regard to the significance of individual character traits, values, feelings and aspirations, and how these change over time and based on new experiences. The activity is part of The European Citizenship Accelerator (EURECA) project, co-funded by the European Commission, Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme.
