Unaccompanied Minor Refugees. Problems and Possibilities of Integration

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Social Work, grade: 1,0, , language: English, abstract: What possibilities are there to promote integration among unaccompanied refugee minors as an educational worker? My thesis is based on this research question. The theoretical examination of the topic is the foundation of the pedagogical integration work. First, I defined the central terms 'unaccompanied minor refugees' and 'integration'. Then I refer to the reasons for the flight of the juveniles. These are very diverse, which is why I also refer to the respective countries of origin of the juveniles. The course of the work with these juveniles, is determined by legal regulations. Subsequently, I list the different forms of youth welfare for unaccompanied minor refugees. This point includes the different facility forms of accommodation, in which educators can also be active. Furthermore, I will deal with the specifics of socio-educational work, followed by the problems, as well as the possibilities of integration. In my conclusion, I will briefly discuss the perspectives of unaccompanied minor refugees, as well as their significance in society if integration is successful.
