Migrant Dialogues
New Narratives on Migration, Culture and Social Economy
Avoiding We — They
We reduce and simplify reality in order to understand it. What we simplify the most is what we do not understand. In this way, the group of "other people" seems to us more homogeneous than our own, and we portray it with generalisations, which result in stereotypes.
There is a strong tendency to divide the world between "us" and "them", pushing us to choose between two options that are presented as exclusive and make cohesion impossible.
Our migration narrative will be articulated in universalist terms: without distinguishing between us and them when talking about mobility.
Migration is a universal phenomenon, inherent to the human condition. All people in some way are, were and will be migrants.
