Greco Morasso, Sara 2012 This paper considers the complex relation between migrants’ interest in their host country and their consequent civic or social engagement in the framework of processes of transition following the rupture of international migration (cf. Zittoun 2006). In phases of transition, migrants live processes of identity definition, sense-making of the situation and learning new knowledge and social, cognitive and practical skills. I argue that learning may be considered a precondition for a migrant’s interest and engagement with the host country culture and institutions. In this connection, I use Eade’s (2007) notion of migration strategy to describe migrant profiles based on learning. My case is supported by a qualitative analysis of two paradigmatic case studies. application/pdf https://susi.usi.ch/global/documents/318567 https://localhost:5000/ark:/12658/srd1318567 https://susi.usi.ch/documents/318567/files/GrecoMorasso_HA_2012.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.2478/s13374-012-0026-z info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/ark/12658/srd1318567 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Human Affairs. - 2012, vol. 22, no. 3, p. 313-324 International migration Learning Transition Identity info:eu-repo/classification/udc/65 Learning as a precondition of migrants’ interest and engagement http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
