PROJET
TERMINÉ
In the Sainte Antoine square located in Etterbeek, a group of ten young people (who grew up in the same area and whose roots come from immigrants) meet informally to talk about their vision about the places they can get in the society. Those 10 young people share a common point: They are coming from an unrecognized Middle-East people, which have been forced to migrate and to flee because of socio-cultural, economical and religious reasons, 30 years ago. These people are called the Assyro-Chaldeo-Syriac people, estimated to 15 000 in Brussels and to 50 000 in Paris.Two members of the project group (the project leaders) are conscious of the change in the discourse of a certain amount of young people: this discourse tends to be radical. New terms are used in their conversations: go back to “our land of origin”, training in the Christian militias, etc.These ways of speaking have shocked our two project leaders because they cannot understand how it is possible to hear these kind of thoughts in actual context. Actually, those young people, whose parents (newcomers) fled from the conflicts, 30 years ago, without hope of return, feel uncomfortable in front of the society in which they were born and expand new ideas about the problematic situation occurring in the Middle East, far from their normal preoccupations!This unease has to be taken seriously because it is a real problem: this new discourse is shared on the social networks among many French young people, living in the same area (“sensitive areas” in the suburbs in Paris) and feeling the same emotions.A certain amount of causes can be used to explain the appropriation of the terrible situation occurring in their land of origin, by those young people. To enlighten them, the two project leaders have already made contacts with two young French people (already met in other transnational, formal or informal, activities).A new idea is born: To gather eight young Belgian and eight young French people to think about a transnational project. Those 16 people have in common their discourse which tends to be radical.The goal: Across three transnational meetings - the first in Brussels, the second in Paris, and the Third in Brussels again - the goal is to motivate the young people to work on the same project.The project: The idea is to meet the seniors of the community, by collecting answers to the questions of the survey and interviewing the newcomers about the reasons of their departure from their country of origin, 30 years ago; the welcoming conditions at that time; their feeling of identity today, their intentions to go back “home”, etc.The expected conclusions: from the testimonies and the meetings of the newcomers from two big European capitals, the goal is to explain and summarize the real reasons which pushed the seniors to migrate to Belgian or France, countries where the young people are born. We can bet: the elders do not want to return in their land of origin anymore. It is important to make the young people understand that the seniors who made the choice to flee will not go back.An “inter-generations” project: The idea of the project is to push, by provoking the “inter-generations” meeting, the young people to talk to their parents and grand-parents about subjects which are relevant for them but have not talked about yet! There is a will to create a dialogue and to communicate to those young people the real reasons of the fleeing of their parents. It is important to help them to understand that the situation of the Middle East is not their cause anymore!The project in three phases:1. To draft a survey as a support for the interviews of the newcomers2. To meet in the respective cities and to share the respective (common) experiences3. To edit a corpus of testimonials and to share messages with the entire group of young people, in Brussels and in Paris, who are living in the same current situation but are lacking orientation
