Meeting at the University of Genova
On the 5th and the 6th of May, all project partners met at the University of Genoa to coordinate their work. Each team completed the fieldwork and carried out the walking interviews required. The meeting was an opportunity to work together on planning the qualitative analysis of the interviews and to outline a work plan for the publications. During the meeting, the work for the making of the documentary was also discussed. On the 7th of May, indeed, the Italian and German teams filmed the first shots in the Ligurian hinterland.
Opening the fieldwork in Germany
On Friday evening, 3rd May 2024, the German team visited members of the Italian Catholic Mission in Nuremberg to present the MIG-AGE project to interested parties. Those present came to Germany as children or young adults and have since built a life for themselves in Germany. The event facilitated a lively exchange and offered those present the opportunity to get to know the interviewer Silvia Stefani, from the University of Genova, directly via video call and to talk about the project and the planned interviews.
Pilot interviews in Italy
The Italian research team started the fieldwork, testing the interview guide in a pilot interview. Francesca Lagomarsino and Silvia Stefani travelled to the rural inner region of Tuscany, to test it with a returned economic migrant. The national research teams are getting ready to start with the walking interviews phase, to disentangle ageing and migration in the qualitative experience of European migrants.
