  Migration from Yucatan Youth to London Adulthood: Acculturation, Personal development, and the Pursuit of Opportunity

  The purpose of this portrait project is to educate and familiarize viewers with the intercultural experience of migration through a personal development lens and critical evaluation of the effects of migration on the process of transitioning from childhood to adulthood. This project was created in order to motivate young Canadians to learn intercultural sensitivity and foster a sense of global citizenship by engaging with different cultures. The intention of the project was to conduct an interview with Andre Cochegrus, a local Hispanic community partner. The researched questions focused on the experience of migration and its impact on his personal development. Through the use of emotional music, narration showcasing cultural and historical context, and stylistic B roll footage, the portrait demonstrates an immersive intercultural evaluation of migration from Mexico to Canada during early adolescence. The portrait demonstrates the effects of the process of acculturation, the role of traditions, and key cultural factors that affect personal development. Through the use of academic resources and personal first-hand accounts, the video provides a holistic understanding of the experience of adolescent migration from Mexico to Canada.

  Missing Home: A Spanish Immigrant's Story

  In Missing Home: A Spanish Immigrant’s Story, Madrid native, Silvia Garcia Pascual, speaks to what life is like raising children in London, Ontario. She moved here with her husband for work-related reasons but says she would go back to Spain in a heartbeat. She incorporates her culture into raising her family by cooking traditional Spanish meals, practicing Spanish traditions at Christmas, and speaking in Spanish to her kids. Given her English fluency, she says she’s adapted here very well but misses the habits of people from home. In Madrid, people are a lot more social and community is not as isolated. Here, she has to drive everywhere, and it is harder to build a community. She wishes her parents and family could take part in raising her kids, but she acknowledges the benefits of growing up Canadian as well. We often fail to realize how isolated immigrants may feel in Canada. Silvia is coming from a culture that stresses family and community, and seeing her describe life without her parents around shows a sad side to moving on. She mainly wishes they are here to see their grandchildren, and because of this desire, she has plans to move back to Spain as soon as she can.
