Focusing on the naturalisation of adult legally-resident non-nationals, the technical seminar will be structured around three roundtable discussions:
- From reception to acquisition of nationality: debate on the citizenship process
- Procedures for the acquisition of nationality: comparison of legislations and practices
- The promotion of common values: content, actions and symbols of national citizenship
The purpose of this seminar, which will be organised in Paris on 26 and 27 November 2007 by the Ministry of Immigration, Integration, National Identity and Co-development and the Ministry of Labour, Social Relations and Solidarity, is (1) to discuss the concepts of nationality, citizenship and national identity; and (2) to discuss the extent to which the procedures for the acquisition of different forms of citizenship impede or facilitate this acquisition.
