With the use of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) and the Internet,

 public utility and humanitarian

organizations in the Euro-

 Mediterranean (Euro-Med) and 

 PACA Regions are able toeffectively pilot their campaigns

of communication with no out 

of pocket costs.

When using Face-to-Face

communication to reach

massive audiences; a person or 

organization is required to

manage organizational, logistic

as well as food & beverage fees

that are required to satisfy thebasic operational necessities for 

the event.

CMC permits the use of strategic communication to massive networks of people

representing 5 themes of public utility which are: “Access to employment 

and economic development, Housing and living environment, Educational 

 success, Citizenship and prevention of delinquency and Health” (PACA

 Region, 2010).

who were born during and after the

1980’s and who have grown up with
