Our objective is to gather migrant children\u2019s experiences related to different stages in the integration processes (newly arrived
\nand long-term residents) and different institutional settings (asylum homes, hotspots, refugee camps, schools). Doing child-
\ncentred fieldwork with children will improve our understanding of children\u2019s experiences of a life in new social and cultural
\nenvironments related to the arrival and staying in host societies. It will offer a new insight into the conceptualizations of well-being
\nand needs and help us to understand the the dynamics of integration in relation to educational systems, peer groups, sport,
\nleisure activities and classroom dynamics, psychosocial support services.<\/p>\n
Project\u2019s specific objective is to examine the impact of local children on the integration of migrant children and to give an insight
\ninto peer dynamics among local and migrant children. Our aim is not only to identify the potential of local children as a factor in
\nprocesses of migrant children\u2019s integration, but also to compare indicators of social inclusion and thereby evaluate the level of
\nsuccess in integration, especially by comparing migrant and local children in view of family dynamics, cultural identity, leisure
\nactivities, relations with peers, future ambitions, classroom dynamics, gender and religion dimensions, etc.<\/p>\n
Project\u2019s objective is to build on capacity, educational and awareness raising of teachers and educational staff, and for
\nprofessionals and other adults who come into regular contact with children to better assess risks and meet the specific needs of
\nmigrant children in host societies. In this manner the project will contribute to the mutual learning and capacity-building of
\nteachers, who will then be better equipped with the knowledge about their students that is necessary for further development of
\ngood solutions and best practices in line with children\u2019s needs when it comes to managing ethnic diversity in schools.<\/p>\n
The proposed project has an objective to overcome integration challenges. For this purpose, Work package 10: Integration Lab is
\nforeseen with an aim to develop new tools and, where possible, to advance effective practices used in schools by teachers for
\nmotivating migrant children\u2019s integration and raising awareness and tolerance among local children. This is vital, especially in the
\nlight of the call that gives weight not only to mapping integration challenges but, more importantly, to winning them. Having this in
\nmind, special precautions have been taken to avoid the project results becoming end in themselves.<\/p>\n
Creating a child-centred integration policy as a specific objective will involve forming policy that puts the focus on the child while
\nlooking at how specific measures respond and impact migrant children\u2019s needs and at the same time acknowledges their well-
\nbeing. Knowing that policy-makers have been criticized for being excessively selective, merely choosing from those components
\nof expertise that fit their problem definitions, on the one hand, and that researchers have been challenged for being unable to
\nreflect critically on their own problem definitions due to their engagement with policy on the other hand, the project confronts
\nchild-centred approach with integration and policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
