How do you feel at school? A cross-country comparative analysis of migrant adolescents’ school well-being
Adolescents present a relevant stakeholder in international migrations since they comprise a large share of all migrants. Previous studies show that migration processes significantly affect the well-being of migrant adolescents. This article investigates how the school environment, with its pedagogical practices and interpersonal relationships established between migrant adolescents, their classmates, and teachers, affect migrant adolescents’ wel…
What about the family? The role and meaning of family in the integration of migrant children
Based on field research in Slovenian schools, the article examines the role of the family in the integration process of migrant children. While migrant children perceive the family as the most important factor influencing their overall well-being and life satisfaction, research shows that parents of migrant children are often not involved in school activities and life. The article explores how the role of parents in the integration process of mig…

The paper draws on secondary sources, interviews, and focus groups with members of the educational community as well as with (migrant) children. The lack of a holistic, standardized, systematic and lon…
Identities and Belongings of “Second-Generation Migrant Women
The article deals with issues of (cultural and ethnic) identity formation and belonging in the case of “second-generation female migrants” from former Yugoslavia in Slovenia. Subjective perceptions, the complexity of identity self-perception and the role of the wider environment (peer group, family) are explored. The article addresses three closely connected yet separate issues: (1) the problematic nature of monoethnic affiliations; (2) the fact …
Life Transitions of the Unaccompanied Migrant children in Slovenia
The article addresses the issue of unaccompanied migrant children seeking international protection in Slovenia and their perceptions of four different life transitions they experience through their journey: a transition across geographical spaces, institutional transition, transition over time and psychological transition. The implementation of the existing international protection system in Slovenia is seen through their narratives and perceptio…
Increase in Tolerance towards Violence against Women in the Private Sphere

When presenting Slovenian public opinion on violence against women in Slovenia, the art…
