Nowadays and
manly in the last 10 years, there has been a lot of immigration. As this
article explains, we must remember that 50 years ago a lot of Spanish people
emigrated to other countries:
We are going
to interview Cristina´s grandparents, and because this is going to be the main
source of information for our oral history project, it´s important to go in
depth. For that, we have chosen the following topics to ask/ talk about with
them:
·
Situation in Spain at that moment: economic, social,
work…
This
way, we will be able to understand better the society in which they lived and
the reasons why they decided to emigrate.
Here
are explained the internal and external factors:
Also,
in these webpages there are some explanations and graphics about the numbers of
people emigrating:
· Travelling expectations. What did they expect to find
there that was better than in Spain?
· Situation when they arrived in Brussels: society,
work… Where their expectations correct or not? What was as they thought and
what not?
· Did they feel comfortable with the new culture,
people…?
· Difficulties with the language.
These
two questions are related with the feelings that every person would experience
when arriving to a different places with different customs. This is important
because it has an influence in how they see their country and if there are
going to stay in Brussels or return to Spain.
· Differences because of the change of country and the
consequences that it had: short, medium and long term.
In
the following webpage we can see the consequences that this emigration had to
Spain and Spanish people: http://sauce.pntic.mec.es/jotero/Emigra3/consecu.htm
· Did they go with their work contracts in order or just
the passport? Because at this moment there were agreements between countries
about emigration/ immigration. However, many people emigrate out of these
agreements, as this webpage explains:
· Returning:
- At
holidays. How did they see their country after living in Brussels?
- To
live again in Spain. Why?
