Between insecurity and hope
Reflections on youth work with young refugees
Maria Pisani, Tanya Basarab, Barbara Giovanna Bello, Sofia Laine
Conseil de l'Europe
Livre numérique
Youth work can offer a space for young refugees to express themselves and
participate in society.
This Youth Knowledge book presents theoretical references and reflections on
the experiences of young refugees and the way they reconcile personal hope
with the tensions within their host societies. It also explores learning from
practices and their theoretical underpinnings concerning the role of youth
work in a cross-sectoral approach. This book aims to be a reference for policy
makers, practitioners and researchers in the youth field and stakeholders from
other sectors working on inclusion, access to rights and the participation of
young refugees.All the contributors propose a very critical engagement with
the reality of young refugees in today’s Europe, where tolerance levels for
negative phenomena, such as human rights violations, hate speech and
discrimination, are on the rise. However, there is also an underlying message
of hope for those willing to engage in a human rights-based youth work
practice that ensures safe spaces for being young, no matter who, no matter
where. Practices and reflections deal with democracy, activism, participation,
formal and non-formal education and learning, employment, trauma,
“waitinghood” and negotiating identities.
We hope this book as a whole, and each individual contribution, will inspire
youth policy makers and practitioners to take on board the complex realities
of unfinished transitions and borderland experiences and create a positive
environment for an enriched and transformed youth work for the inclusion of
young refugees in their host communities.
