Working Group 2

Integrating the perspective of vulnerable children and young people in welfare and policy

Working Group 2 focuses on psychosocial care and vulnerability prevention policies for Transnational Families children and adolescents. These are often neglected in both research and practice. Without sensitivity to the vulnerabilities and potential of children and adolescents in Transnational Families , the risk is too great that their needs will continue to be overlooked. WG2 explores how local actors try to handle this missing ‘politics of childhood’ (Scheper-Hughes, 1999) and documents how in some parts of Europe promising projects are emerging to prevent further problematic development from the first signs of vulnerability and to promote strength and resilience. WG2 takes on the challenge of shedding light on whether there are gender and age differences in psychosocial counselling and policy.
