Abstract

Mobility and migration processes of globalization are not only recent, but they are an integral part of the world. Human mobility is an essential feature of human culture. Today’s world is not the same as that world that has given risen to the phenomenon of anthropology. It cannot be ignoring the effects of globalization; the relocation must take a set of historical realities. The year 2012 is at the intersection of several stages: between modern and postmodern; between colonialism and post-colonialism. We live in a society dispersed in everyday activities, social relations; dimensions of individual identity are located in areas delineated from each other. This fragmentation is seen every day: every living ego in multiple countries, more or less autonomous, distributed between one or more places of residence, work, leisure, sociability with friends or family, privacy etc., territorial fragmentation of social identity is recorded in the biographical course. With government programs such as Lifelong Learning and education research grants from the European Union launched in 1997 with Bologna Process of Higher education reform, migration and mobility have become the main key of change and the assertive approach of European Community mobility.
