Youth and Children in the Arab World and the EU

Dislocation, Inclusion, and the Spaces of Identity: Youth and Children in the Arab World and the EU.

Conflict and regional integration can both be reasons for dislocation.  In the first case it is about seeking refuge; in the second it is finding opportunities. Whether it is peace or conflict, the changing context affects children and youth more than any other social group. They are more vulnerable to trauma and discrimination, they struggle with coping in a new environment, and they have to adapt to changes sometimes beyond their comprehension.

This international workshop is aiming to compare the situation of children and youth that are facing similar challenges though they seem to be living in different contexts, namely the Arab World and Europe.
