Transnational Family Dynamics in Europe - International Summer School 2023

Learn about the growing, rapidly changing phenomenon and dynamics of transnational families!

Families that are geographically dispersed due to economic or forced migration; families in which a member works abroad almost continuously; families in which a (mostly) young person lives abroad for a longer period for study or internship, etc. Obviously, the realities of
transnational families are very different. By attending this summer school, participants will get a better understanding of the growing, rapidly changing phenomenon and dynamics of transnational families.

The theoretical basis in lectures and workshops will be offered by an internationally composed team of specialised psychologists and social scientists.
Field visits of organisations working with transnational families, refugee families and children… will confront the participants with relevant methodologies and how to apply them in this context.
Exchanges between researchers and stakeholders from different countries, disciplines, and research communities on transnational families will be possible.

Target groups:
- Undergraduate students (2nd, 3rd and 4th year) of social education who want to develop a broader view on social work and counselling work with transnational families, both on a theoretical and methodological level. All students participating, will get 3 ECTS-points. In order to receive them, all parts of the programme are mandatory.
- (Young) professionals, early career investigators and practitioners from social work and welfare organisations will be offered a specific programme during the first week (26-30 June), based on their needs. If they cannot attend the whole programme, they can choose for some specific lectures or workshops of their interest.
- Researchers in the field of transnational families and the changing dynamics.
