European experts meet at UdL to examine the situation of young immigrants
The Tresegy Project Symposium took place at UdL on the 22nd and 23rd May
Which is the situation of young immigrants in Europe? What policies can be implemented to promote their integration? These are some of the questions that the Tresegy Project Symposium attempted to answer at the University of Lleida on the 22nd and 23rd May. The symposium gathered around fifty researchers, teachers and young people from Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Holland and Germany.
The Tresegy Project is funded by the European Union and has developed research during the last three years, including case studies in nine different contexts from six countries. Its main goal is to analyse the cultural practices and the processes of socio-economical integration and exclusion of young immigrants, especially the so-called "second generation" immigrants, both at a local and at a comparative level.
UdL concentrated its research work on Latin-Americans living in Catalonia, one of the groups that most highly increased in the last few years, due to massive migrations and family reunification policies
UdL lecturers Fidel Molina, Carles Feixa, Jordi Garreta, Cecilio Lapresta and Luca Giliberti collaborated with a research work that concentrated on Latin-Americans living in Catalonia, one of the groups that most highly increased in the last few years, due to massive migrations and family reunification policies. Their study is an approach to the perceptions of young Latin Americans between 16 and 24, as well as to their expectations as regards access to material and non-material resources.
The conclusions of different territorial studies were presented on the 23rd May at 10.30 a.m. in the Assembly Hall of the Rectorat building. A round table followed with the participation, among others, of UdL lecturer Fidel Molina, Marc Goffart, from the European Commission, and Luca Queirolo Palmas, from Genoa University.
