| Summary: | This paper analyzes the trajectories of West African students in Turkey over the last two decades. These study mobilities were initiated by the Turkish government's policy of internationalization, which allowed thousands of young people to leave for Ankara, Istanbul or Konya, making Turkey a new player on the global scene of educational exchanges. The students experienced in Turkey a society that was little open to the outside world, but also created cultural and economic exchanges with Africa. The analysis of their mobility thus helps to counterbalance the idea of the negative impact of the brain drain on their countries of origin. |
