communication strategies. This report presents the findings from wave one of the research. The research consisted of face to face surveys conducted in the seven local entities participating in the SPARDA project.
Most people do not recognise the advantages of immigration. Of the statements provided, the highest proportion of people generally tended to agree with the negative statements and disagree with the positive statements provided.
