Summary

The project presents a triple objective: to analyze the emigration of young Catalans to Europe and elsewhere in the world since 2008, based on available statistical data; Analyze a specific case (the emigration of graduates higher in London), based on the autobiographical stories of its protagonists, and, explore the Marea Granat (a social movement that emerged after 15M among young emigrants) as an example of interconnection between digital and face networks. The research aims to provide information on the migratory process to all young people who are planning to emigrate, as well as to bring the results to different political parties and stakeholders so that they can better understand what is happening among young migrants and, if necessary, take measures to improve your condition.

In particular, this survey wants to know the emigration expectations of young Catalans and we believe that a very good way to do this is through the opinion of the young university students of Catalonia, in order to know their mobility plans after finishing their studies. studies.
