23.10.2018, 12-15.15, Linna 5026-5027: Young people, risk and resilience
Tampere Centre for Childhood, Youth and Family Research PERLA, in collaboration with the Research project ’Friendship as Potential?’ and the Youth Work and Youth Research at the University of Tampere, organises an open research seminar on the concepts of risk and resilience. The seminar explores ‘risk’ and ‘resilience’ in the lives of young people in Finland and beyond. Who are ‘at risk’? What does it mean to be ‘marginalized’? How is ‘social exclusion’ managed in institutions and by professionals? How do ‘disadvantaged young people’ cope with and conceptualize adversity and misrecognition? What is ‘resilience’ and can it be professionally cultivated? Drawing from ongoing and long-standing research the seminar navigates the challenges and potentials of young people and discusses the role of professionals in supporting the youths in their sometimes challenging life situations.
