Abstract: Living amidst a failed decolonisation proc ess and a chronic exile, Sahrawis remain widely neglected among the acad emic and humanitarian debates regarding (post)colonialism, protracted si tuations, and (im)mobilities among camp-based populations. As such, anal ysing their survival strategies after four decades in exile is of the ut most relevance, especially from the youth point of view: those who were born in exile and leave the refugee camps to study.

Based on a 24- month ethnographic research in Extremadura Community (Spain) and Algiers (Algeria), this talk focuses on how second generations of Sahrawi stude nts shape their future perspectives based on their transnational educati onal trajectories, belonging both to the origin and host societies. It a nalyses how return is perceived after graduation and how youngsters nego tiate the transition from refugee-students to migrants.
