The purpose of the study
The purpose of the study is to improve the understanding of resilience (the ability to withstand and cope with change, as well as recover and further develop) and how resilience can be promoted among refugee children and young adults in Sweden.
The research project is conducted at Barnafrid, a national knowledge center on violence against children at Linköping University.
How it works
In the study, young people with a refugee background will be interviewed by us. The interviews will be based on an interview guide that will be developed in a first step through workshops.
We are currently looking for people with a refugee background (at least 15 years old) or people with experience in working with refugees or migration-related questions, to participate in the workshops. During the workshop, participants will work together to identify relevant questions for the interview guide to be used in the upcoming interviews with refugee youth, as well as learn more about resilience, violence, co-creation and research.
