About the project

The research project, which ended in mid-2018, recorded, monitored and evaluated the lives of unaccompanied refugee minors in residential child and youth welfare facilities. The focus here is on their special needs after fleeing their country of origin and being separated from their family. New relationships and the development of educational prospects in school and training are intended to contribute to the development of the young people's prospects. The background to these efforts is to enable integration into mainstream society. The project partners want to jointly design and carry out the research and make the results available to an interested (specialist) public. In this transdisciplinary study, the Fachhochschule Dortmund, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Katja Nowacki and the scientific assistance of Silke Remiorz, in cooperation with Kinder- und Jugendhilfe Flow gGmbH Bottrop and with the counseling of employees of the youth welfare office from four municipalities in the Ruhr area (Essen, Bottrop, Herten, Witten), will conduct initial interviews with male UMF from the second half of 2016 in a one-off cross-sectional study in order to gain an exploratory first impression of their situation at a residential child and youth welfare institution. The interview guidelines will be agreed in an expert workshop at the beginning of October 2016 and the results will be discussed in the course of 2017.

Selected results of the project have been published in the following anthology:
