Building Futures: Aspirations of Syrian Youth Refugees and Host Population Responses in Lebanon, Greece & the UK

该项目是一项创新的跨学科研究，研究因本国冲突而被迫流离失所的叙利亚青年难民的经历、技能和愿望，以及黎巴嫩、希腊和联合王国三个接受国收容人口的相应态度和信仰结构。我们将与这些年轻难民进行调查，探索他们的愿望，并将他们对自己需求的看法放在中心舞台上。我们还将调查收容人口的成员，其中一些人可能处于类似的不利地位，以确定他们对难民培训需求的态度。然后，我们将比较这两个群体的反应，以揭示基本伦理框架中的对比和趋同点，这些框架塑造了他们对这一复杂情况中所涉及的需求、权利和义务的理解。这项研究将在多个方面推进我们的理论理解，并促进重要的社会和政治目标。首先，我们对他们愿望的数据将使我们能够制定政策建议，以满足年轻难民的培训和技能需求，以期促进他们在叙利亚重新融入社会或融入他们的东道国。其次，我们的比较方法将指导如何在公共资源紧张和反移民情绪的背景下制定和倡导这种政策。通过关注共同的道德承诺，我们将提供方法来制定培训和技能政策，以建立共识和跨社区理解。我们将通过在多个相关领域的期刊上发表五篇学术文章来传播这项研究。我们还将通过面向所有三个国家的政策制定者和普通受众的简明出版物，以及通过一系列六项公共活动，参与一项雄心勃勃的知识交流和公众参与方案。我们将在项目结束时通过英国数据档案馆提供我们的数据，以便在允许发布关键成果的禁运期间之后共享。通过利用我们在社会科学和艺术方面的研究专长，我们试图影响培训和技能政策的内容，以及围绕这些政策的公共话语。通过集中关注移民和东道国人口的伦理观点，我们将促进两个群体的社会凝聚力和福利：前者可以在更具支持性的社会背景下满足他们的培训和技能需求，后者可以放心，管理稀缺资源分配的原则与他们也有共同理由的原则产生共鸣。

This project is an innovative interdisciplinary study of the experiences, skills and aspirations of young Syrian refugees, who have been forcibly displaced by the conflict in their home country, and the corresponding attitudes and belief structures of the host population in three receiving states: Lebanon, Greece and the United Kingdom. We will conduct surveys with these young refugees, exploring their aspirations and giving centre stage to their own perspectives on their needs. We will also survey members of the host populations, some of whom may be analogously disadvantaged, to identify their attitudes to refugee's training needs. We will then compare the responses of both groups to reveal contrasts and points of convergence in the underlying ethical frameworks that shape their understanding of the needs, rights and duties involved in this complex situation.This research will advance our theoretical understanding, and promote important social and political ends, in a number of ways. First, our data on their aspirations will allow us to formulate policy recommendations to meet the training and skills needs of young refugees, with a view to facilitating either reintegration in Syria or integration in their host nations. Second, our comparative approach will give guidance on how such policy should be framed and advocated in a context of strained public resources and anti-immigration sentiment. By focussing on shared ethical commitments, we will offer ways to develop training and skills policy which builds consensus and cross-community understanding.We will disseminate this research by producing five academic articles in journals across a number of relevant fields. We will also engage in an ambitious programme of knowledge exchange and public engagement, through concise publications aimed at policymakers and general audiences in all three countries, and through a series of six public events. We will make our data available for sharing through the UK Data Archive at the end of the project, following an embargo period that will allow for publication of key outputs. By drawing on our research expertise in the social sciences and the arts, we seek to influence both the content of training and skills policy, and also the public discourse surrounding such policy. By focussing on the ethical perspectives of both migrant and host populations, we will promote social cohesion and welfare for both groups: the former can have their training and skills needs met in a more supportive social context, and the latter can be reassured that the principles governing the distribution of scarce resources are ones which resonate with reasons they also share.
