Conference Overview
After presenting the migration drama affecting the Canary Islands and the reception of immigrants, Loueila Sid Ahmed Ndiaye will describe the support provided to these individuals to help them navigate legal proceedings. She will show how these procedures lead to the creation of multiple documents that transform these migrants, generally considered “undocumented,” into holders of voluminous files that allow them to defend their rights and preserve their memory.
