  8th "European youth and society in the Mediterranean" conference

  Les Rencontres « Jeunes et sociétés en Europe et autour de la Méditerranée » visent depuis leur création à penser les évolutions contemporaines des jeunesses, à la fois comme groupes identitaires et comme moment biographique. À la suite des rencontres de Poitiers en 2014 qui portaient sur les migrations, ces huitièmes rencontres, organisées à l'École normale supérieure de Lyon par le laboratoire Triangle et le Centre Max Weber, ont pour thème « Genre et jeunesses ».

  South and east mediterranean youth policies on a tightrope

  The conference brings together a series of international researchers who examine youth policies within institutional structures and at the state level in six South and East Mediterranean countries (Tunisia, Morocco, Palestine, Egypt, Lebanon and Turkey). It sheds light on the politics of youth policies, sociological and economic obstacles to becoming "adults", and questions the historical turn after the 2011 "Arab Spring". Youth policies are examined at a macro-level in the areas of employment, family, migration and spatial planning in an attempt to understand the emergence of youth as a category, oftentimes identified with a public problem. The question of how various forms of marginalization and domination such as gender, social, urban/rural, ethnic, based on citizenship, etc. intersect and generate inequalities among youth in South and East Mediterranean countries is central to inquiry.

  The Mediterranean: young people, migrations and development

  The aim of the international conference on youth, migrations and development around the Mediterranean, is to highlight the new interdisciplinary research perspectives that are currently emerging on these issues. The conference seeks to bring together members of the scientific community as well as civil society and institutional actors who are interested in the relationship between young people, migrations and development in the Mediterranean area. More specifically, its main objective is to provide a broad overview of the current state of research on three specific populations: descendants of migrants (the so-called “second generation”); children of refugees; unaccompanied minors.

  The Vulnerability and Marginality of Youth in the Mediterranean Basin (19th-20th centuries)

  French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood

  The Revue d’histoire de l’enfance “irrégulière” (the French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood) will devote its next issue to the different perceptions and management policies focused on irregular or marginal youth in the countries of the Mediterranean basin (i.e. the northern coast of the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Mashriq and the Maghreb) throughout the 19^th and 20^th centuries. Specifically, we expect that the study of the public policies adopted by the countries of the region to deal with their youth will put the hypothesis of the unity and singularity of the Mediterranean to the test: either it will allow some sort of shared approach to emerge or, on the contrary, it will expose the Mediterranean as a cultural and ideological construct.

  Young people at the beginning of the 21st century: From reasons for concern to reasons for hope

  Young people & Societies n°5 – Montpellier (France), October 2010, 28th, 29th and 30th

  Les cinquièmes rencontres « Jeunes et sociétés » proposent dans leur prochaine édition de décrire davantage les situations que connaissent les jeunesses malmenées en ce début de XXIe siècle mais, aussi, d’évaluer en quoi les interprétations en termes de groupe d’âge finissent par s’épuiser lorsque la conjoncture économique met davantage en lumière la fragilisation de parcours ou la précarisation de trajectoires d’autres groupes sociaux, les âges biographiques de leurs membres rendant bien mal compte des variations observées.
