Overview of the Children's Research Network Special Interest Group on Child and Youth Migration
We are exploring the feasibility of establishing a CRN Special Interest Group (SIG) for individuals across the island of Ireland, involved in or interested in the area of child/youth-centred research and evidence-informed policy and practice in relation to Child and Youth Migration.
Some potential activities the group could engage in:
- Establish a platform for people working on or interested in research in evidence-informed practice and policy in this area to build networks and discuss their work
- Identify research gaps and explore the better use of research evidence
- Collaborate on specific research projects
- Issue regular bulletins informing the wider interested community on events / publications and other updates from the sector
- Develop and support existing efforts to promote Universities of Sanctuary and other actions to promote social inclusion
- As part of a commitment to reciprocity, run outreach activities and events involving children and young people involved in or affected by migration, where feasible, appropriate and meaningful
