Final conference of the 'Combating youth homelessness' project, Brussels, Belgium
28 April 2011 - 28 April 2011
Belgium
The final conference of the 'Combating youth homelessness' (CSEYHP) project will take place on 28April 2011 in Brussels, Belgium.
Levels of youth homelessness vary between European countries in relation to the patterns of support that are available to them. Within countries there are differences in relation to gender, ethnic minority group and migrant status. Strong family support systems no longer form a sufficient guarantee for avoiding youth homelessness. In northern Europe interventionist programmes have been developed to work with homeless populations.
The project has involved the active participation of young people: as sources of information on their own lives and histories, as co-researchers in interviewing their peers, and as contributors to the national workshops that took place in four countries to assess and discuss the project's research findings.
The CSEYHP project was funded under the 'Socio-economic sciences and humanities' Theme of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).For further information, please click: here(opens in new window)
