Citizen Cartography Encounters #RDV4 Tunisia Land of Migration

# RDV4 TUNISIA LAND OF MIGRATION – The numbers .. And the Rights?

From the available statistical data relating to migration (immigration / emigration), we produce maps that reflect the “flow”of migrants, identify patterns, differences according to the categories of persons, etc. ..

But what about their rights?

The map, like any form of representation, is not neutral. It shows as much as it hides. Its value is minimal if no one is there to interpret the question. Therefore, at this meeting, we organize two round tables bringing together various actors, with different points of view.
