3.2 From Morocco to Europe - 2

Lesson goals

• We have checked your understanding of lesson 1 regarding Moroccan migrants & the keywords belonging to it.
• You know how Dutch Moroccans are spread in the Netherlands.
• You have a broader idea of the tensions in Dutch society around migration and can name arguments for each side. 
• You have practiced with words that describe generation and family ties.

Talking point: Cities are often defined as having many pull factors, but what can be push factors for cities?

We saw Noura's grandfather move from his village to Casablanca

Give the keyword for money that is sent back to family in the country the immigrant has come from. R.......s

Describe the development

In the year.. starts
Between ... and ... it increases fast/slow

Closer to today you can see...

How come, if there were only around 22.000 original guest workers from Morocco, there are now around 400.000 Dutch people from Moroccan descend?

Family reunification

When a migrant worker has his or her partner and children move to the country where he or she works.

For many Moroccan guest workers this happened after a year or two in the late 70s and early 80s.

Family formation

If a migrant worker seeks a partner in his or her home country and has the new partner migrate to the country where he or she works.

Family reunification + formation more than doubled the people from Moroccan descend in the Netherlands.

Meryem has met her partner when he was on holiday in Morocco. Now she will move from Kenitra to Rotterdam to live with him.

What's in the family?

Workbook page 80

What’s in the family?

The children of your parent’s brothers and sisters are your cousins. There is no Dutch translation for the word ‘cousins’. We speak about ‘neven en nichten’, in that case. In English you only talk about nephews and nieces, when you want to specifically point out how many boys and girls there are in your group of cousins. For example, you might have six cousins: of these, two are nephews (male) and four are nieces (female). If your cousins have children themselves, these are your second cousins.
