Résumé

Des millions d’enfants et de jeunes vivent en situation de déplacement forcé. Nous avons mené une étude mixte auprès de 729 élèves du primaire dans le camp de réfugiés de Kakuma afin d’examiner le rôle des connaissances, de l’expérience (directe ou indirecte), de la langue et de la scolarité dans le sentiment d’appartenance des élèves à leur pays d’origine et dans leur intention d’y retourner. Nous avons constaté que le sentiment d’appartenance est associé à la connaissance du pays et de ses traditions, à la maîtrise de la langue d’origine et aux perspectives de scolarisation. Toutefois, ces mêmes facteurs sont associés négativement à leur intention de retourner dans leur pays d’origine dans un avenir proche. La relation entre l’apprentissage formel et informel semble encourager un sentiment pragmatique d’appartenance au Kenya dans l’immédiat, tandis que tout sentiment d’appartenance et tout espoir de retour dans leur pays d’origine sont projetés dans un avenir imaginé.
