Summer school Transnational Childhoods in Europe
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 Summer School is taught in English, but open to everyone!
Deze opleiding voor volwassenen maakt deel uit van Odisee Continue, hét aanbod voor iedereen die wil bijblijven, zich persoonlijk ontwikkelen of omscholen.
