I participated in an interview on global migration and citizenship. Please find the link below. A very interesting article in French (and an interview in English) which relate well opportunities and challenges for global families. I summarise here themes discussed by the different families in the article, very similar themes to the ones I have talked about here so far:
- living in a different language, needing to learn a new language to communicate in an adoptive country and being accepted with a different accent
- understanding your own culture versus new ones
- knowing your cultural heritage and origins
- similarities and differences between political and economic migration
- needing to come ‘home’ regularly, leaving some deep roots behind
- saying painful and emotional goodbyes
- needing to reflect about opportunities outweighing roots and relationships
- difficult adaptation and integration
- technology helping communication with relatives and friends
