The Sri Lankan Tamil community in Fribourg asked the city's university if it would be possible to carry out a study about them. This oral history project, which Arianna Ostini is working on as part of a forthcoming dissertation, explores the paths of migration, integration and the recomposition of identity. Alongside her, Tamil and Sinhalese personalities, both exiles in Switzerland and second-generation immigrants, are telling their stories and sharing their experiences of integration in our country.
