The EUROMED-ICESCO Chair: Arts, Societies and Civilizations organized a roundtable on: “Immigration and inclusion issues”

The EUROMED-ICESCO Chair “Arts, Societies and Civilizations” organized a roundtable held on November 21 entitled “Immigration and inclusion issues: cross perspectives” at UEMF’s Eco-campus.

Immigration and inclusion issues emerged as central themes of this meeting. Participants engaged in introspective discussion, questioning the multiple facets related to the various perspectives of this social phenomenon, preceded by the opening speech delivered by Mr. Abderrahman Tenkoul, Chair Director and Dean of the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences.

During this meeting, the distinguished speakers, namely Mr. Mohammed El Homrani Maknuzi, Professor, Department of Didactics and School Organization at the University of Granada; Ms. Damarys Roy Sadradin, Director of the Master in Higher Education at Universidad Andrés Bello; Ms. Margarita E. Aravena Gaete, Director of the Observatory of Inclusion at Universidad Andrés Bello; Ms. Majda Nniya El Berdai, Spanish language coordinator at Euromed University of Fes; and Mr. Alexander Toshkov, Director of the Language Center at UEMF, transcended the simplistic view that considers the complex issue of immigration to be merely a scourge. 

From a sociological, psychological and legal point of view, each speaker offered a unique perception, thereby enriching the understanding of the issues related to immigration, cultural diversity and inclusion.

The cross-perspectives offered by the participants made it possible to explore the deep resonances of these contemporary realities. In short, this meeting illuminated the scene with in-depth analyses, establishing a rich dialogue with the students and academic staff present. It left participants with a profound question about immigration’s capacity not only to reflect but also to influence social dynamics, particularly those related to inclusion and living together within the same nation.
