1.SHARP projectSHARP (a platform for SHAre and RePresenting) is a specific research narrowly linked with action : « a kind of research wherein you can find a willful action to change reality ; There is a binary objective : transform reality and build knowledge upon those transformations » (Hugon et Seibel, 1988, p.13)

Methodology (1)• Confrontation of theoretical and conceptual
approaches : on territory, identity, empowerment, « glocalisation »
• Presentation of the interview guide (DYRTproduction)
• Video tool for interviews
• History of the Pas-de-Calais mining area (North of France)

SALLAUMINES

Methodology (2)• Panorama of the territory from the Vimy site
• Route in Sallaumines and visit of various places
• Interviews:
– Diversity of origins : natives, Polish, Slovene, Portuguese, Italian, Moroccan
– Diversity of status : former miners, miners' wives, miners' sons, elected members, voluntaries in people's education …

Methodology (3)• Workshops for the trainees :
– Discussions and debriefing
–Work on the interviews
– Video editing with the trainees' conclusions
• Analysis of the documentary corpus
• Dissemination of results

Main remarks from the interviewed people• They were quite surprised with our survey laying on
theirs lives (complex of an area deeply touched by economic crisis)
• The affirmation of a French identity (major role of the French Republican school system)
• Their origins are just hinted at : through cooking, music; but the native language is rarely mastered
• The native country : is mostly unknown (but why not visiting it as a tourist)
• Deep link with the mining area, and its social life
30/11/2011
Main remarks from the trainees
• They were surprised with the attachment to national identity
• ...and also with the distance to the native countries
• They share a real attachment to the mining area even if work is scarce
30/11/2011
• The main paradox :
– The majority of these people is born of immigration
– The local history, the strength of social bounds, assistantship (…) produced a strong attachment to that territory (settled way of life)
• The attachment to a territory which is not very attractive
(because of the landscape, of huge unemployment...) seems to be not important
• Those people seem to be far from a mondialised logic
• Questioning of the specific term of « glocalisation »
30/11/2011
Major questions
• Can we imagine a European citizenship which could respect and promote strong territory bounds?
= This is a major issue in the SHARP programme
• Are interculturality, and progressive recognition of alterity, strong enough to territorialize Europe?
• Can we characterized Europe by a juxtaposition of specific territories?
30/11/2011
Conclusion• Our research was built on a self-training belonging to
an educative programme
• The trainees are mostly convinced Europeans (a bias to our analysis)
• The strength of the meeting revealed identity and territory differences
• The mixing of European nations is not enough to create a European identity
