Abstract

Cet article vise à évaluer l?impact des formes contemporaines de la mobilité sur l?émergence ou le renforcement d?un processus psychosociologique ou sociopolitique d?identification à l?Europe au niveau individuel. Les entretiens menés auprès d?anciens étudiants ayant participé au programme européen Erasmus montrent que la confrontation à un milieu étranger et la rencontre avec d?autres culturellement différents, amène de jeunes individus à la fois à aiguiser leur perception de soi et à ouvrir leur identité à une pluralité de sentiments d?appartenance, dont l?identité européenne. This paper aims at assessing the impact of contemporary forms of mobility on the formation or strengthening of a psycho-sociological or socio-political process of identification with Europe at the individual level. Interviews with former students who went abroad in the frame of the EU Erasmus programme bring evidence that the confrontation with an alien environment and the encounter with others who are culturally different allow young individuals to both sharpen their self-perception and open to plural belongings, including European identity.
