Multi-dimensional communication between native and foreign citizens fosters positive relationship building. It is precisely through the dynamics of relations between these groups and the overall attitude of the host population that the networks of belonging take shape and the possibilities of planning an integrative path capable of enhancing the resource represented by foreigners are determined. In order to promote communication between natives and foreign immigrants, it is important to promote cultural initiatives, also of an informative nature, aimed at the population in order to make them aware of the reasons for migration and the different cultures of origin, also organizing initiatives inspired by criteria of coexistence in a multicultural society. It is also necessary to prepare information, communication and awareness-raising tools that have the dual objective of dismantling prejudices and unfounded fears and of reassuring people with regard to well-founded fears, because they are able to propose solutions to situations of relational distress.
