It is not a question here of evoking the human disaster of shipwrecks in the Mediterranean Sea but of our way of welcoming migrants and making a place for them in our societies.<\/p>\n<p>Associations and public authorities think they are doing the best they can, but they provide little support to those responsible for caring for migrants in terms of continuing training. Few volunteers or professionals are trained in linguistic kindness.<\/p>\n<p>This is undoubtedly why I regularly hear those responsible for training in French as a foreign language say: \u201cmigrants must at all costs integrate, become autonomous, and learn French. &#8221; I agree with that. I also hear: \u201cin French classes, you must only speak French, otherwise they will not integrate. \u00bb I agree less. Imagine arriving in China in a Chinese language course without understanding a word of this language? I think you would like some explanations in a language known to you.<br \/>\nI still hear French elected officials declaring: \u201cwhy should our libraries buy books in the languages \u200b\u200bof migrants when they are there to speak French? \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>In Switzerland, for more than 40 years, there has been a network of intercultural and multilingual libraries. For what ? Because good integration requires good reception conditions, respecting the languages \u200b\u200band cultures of people seeking asylum or the right of residence.<br \/>\nIntercultural libraries make media available in the languages \u200b\u200bof these people. The public authorities have understood that anyone residing in a foreign land will be more inclined to adapt if they feel respected and recognized and accepted in their intrinsic identity, that is to say also in their language.<\/p>\n<p>As a welcoming country, we must accept that the cultural perceptions of displaced people, different from ours, interact with ours. It is up to us to open this dialogue, by explaining the expectations of our societies. We can create moments of exchange with migrants about their social and cultural practices, as we do spontaneously when we are traveling with them, and they open their doors to us to offer us tea and chat.<\/p>\n<p>It is firstly up to the people welcoming and training the migrants to show their open-mindedness, to understand and make people understand that what seems natural \u2013 our values, our culture, our way of thinking \u2013 is a cultural construction. which shapes us from childhood.<\/p>\n<p>The quality of our welcome will depend on the acceptance of linguistic and cultural difference. There is no welcome worthy of the name without acceptance of the Other in his part of the unknown which refers to ours and which sometimes frightens.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_post_nav _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few people are trained in linguistic kindness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276442,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-276447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-classifiee"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276447"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276447\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276482,"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276447\/revisions\/276482"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eupheme-erasmusplus.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
