10.15 - 13.15 SOCIAL ASPECTS OF MIGRATION
Annalisa Frisina – University of Padua

•  Main sociological approaches to migration
•  Multiculturalism and interculture
•  Intercultural mediation and citizenship rights

Immigrants are developing agents for their original country especially because they support it with investments in new activities and projects.
There are three main sociological approaches to migration:

1. Macro theories, that use economic factors to explain the migration flows, such as the increasing economic inequalities
2. Meso theories, second which the relationships between immigrants and people already migrated (es. reconjunction) are the reason of migration flows
3. Micro theories, that use individual motivations such as economic calculation.

Dr. Frisina explains what is difference and what is in common between multiculturalism and interculture. The concepts of “intercultural” and “multicultural” share an antiracist attitude and assert the equality of all the human beings, but interculture also presupposes a more open and tolerant attitude, the conviction that there are shared values between cultures and that learning to live in different cultures is a necessity.
