From the Migration Experience to its Visual Narration in International Mobility

These chapter introduces a way for international students studyinh in universities in France to reflect on their lives and envision their future in termes of social mobility. With this in mind, they were instructed to produce a drawing describing their background and visualising their mobility in the years to come in Europe or beyond. The process of viusual narratives allows individuals to describe and confront not only objective conditions but also their feelings and subjective points of view of their past, present and future (im)mobilities. This allows them to access and undestanding of international mobility as a contemporaray experience, this understanding being both objective and subjective on psychological, emotional and social levels.
