On the program
Families that are geographically dispersed due to economic or forced migration; families in which a member works abroad almost continuously; families in which a (mostly) young person lives abroad for a longer period for study or internship,… Obviously, the realities of transnational families are very different. By attending this summer school, participants will get an improved understanding of the growing, rapidly changing phenomenon and dynamics of transnational families.
The theoretical basis in lectures and workshops will be offered by an internationally composed team of specialized psychologists and social scientists. Field visits of organizations working with transnational families, refugee families and children will confront the participants with relevant methodologies and how to apply them in this context.
Target Group
- Undergraduate students (2nd, 3rd and 4th grade) of social education who want to develop a broader view on social work and counselling work with transnational families, both on a theoretical and methodological level. All students participating, will get 3 ECTS-points. In order to receive them, all parts of the programme are mandatory.

work and welfare organizations. - Researchers in the field of transnational families and the changing dynamics.
