点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This programme will build on findings from previous research in relation to Eastern European children's experiences of migration in Scotland and opportunities for integration. It will focus on capacity building and provide opportunities for knowledge transfer in relation to service provision for migrant groups in Scotland, with a focus on children of newly arrived migrant workers. The programme will examine issues to do with inclusion of migrant families and better service delivery for new migrant groups through a series of events promoting knowledge transfer, research-informed policy and practice and user engagement. It will bring together policy makers, service managers, practitioners and migrants to engage in activities such as professional workshops, seminars and a conference to come up with ideas on better delivery of services for migrant children and their families and improve policy. A guide for migrant children newly arrived in Scotland will be launched in several European languages and an exhibition entitled 'Scotland, our country: A story of migration through children's eyes' with materials produced by children will be organised as part of the programme.
