Contribution
My doctoral thesis will propose to address the day-to-day life of children who seek asylum in Finland together with their families in the context of Finnish refugee reception centres and schools. I shall consider the significance of family, the reception centre, preparatory education and after-school group in a situation where the asylum seeking child is trying to cope with her or his difficult condition. Another strain of the study will concentrate on the support provided by networks and the children’s own experience of their lives in the midst of their asylum-seeking process – on how they reflect their present life on their past and future.
