The objective of this meeting is to reflect on the difficulties encountered by young people in a situation of exile from their country of origin who start a university career, in contemporary times as well as in the past. The idea is to dialogue with current and former students of the University of Liège, in order to address this theme through the narration of diverse life trajectories. It is also a question of adopting a reflexive, temporal and intergenerational approach, by involving students who arrived at the University of Liège at different times and in different historical contexts, and each with their own history, desires and projects. This meeting is organised in partnership with a series of actors working in the city of Liège in relation to the proposed theme. At the end of the meeting, a summary containing concrete recommendations will be drawn up and sent to the participants and the authorities.
