Isol\ue9s, mais connect\ue9s: le cas de mineurs \ue9trangers non accompagn\ue9s

Foreign unaccompanied and separated children represent a specific and a very substantial segment in migratory phenomenon, which involves European countries, including Italy. This phenomenon is taking on increasing importance, not only and not just in terms of quantity, but also in relation to the challenges posed to the system of social protection. Moreover, we have to say that different currents of though about the contemporary migration are agreed that immigrant people are the actors of a culture of connection on which they live the experience of mobility. This culture of connection has become evident and very dynamic since migrants have started to use massively new technologies of information and communicationLes mineurs isol\ue9s \ue9trangers (MIE en France, MSNA en Italie) repr\ue9sentent un segment particulier et de plus en plus consid\ue9rable dans le ph\ue9nom\ue8ne de la migration dans les pays europ\ue9ens, dont l\u2019Italie. Il s\u2019agit d\u2019un ph\ue9nom\ue8ne de plus en plus important, et ce, non pas simplement du point de vue quantitatif, mais aussi du fait des d\ue9fis pos\ue9s au syst\ue8me de protection sociale. Il faut ajouter que les courants de r\ue9flexion sur le ph\ue9- nom\ue8ne migratoire contemporain s\u2019accordent sur le fait que les migrants d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui vivent dans l\u2019exp\ue9rience de la mobilit\ue9 et jouent le r\uf4le d\u2019acteurs d\u2019une culture de lien. Cette culture du lien est devenue visible et particuli\ue8rement dynamique depuis que les migrants ont commenc\ue9 \ue0 utiliser massivement les nouvelles technologies de l\u2019information et de la communication
