The 1951 Refugee Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees defines the different grounds upon which a person can be recognized as a refugee. However, throughout the years, different reasons of persecution have emerged which were not envisaged by its drafters. Traditionally, these claims have been recognised under the membership of a particular social group ground. This is also the case of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) people. When transposing the Qualification Directive 2011/95/EU-recast into their legal systems, some European Union Member States do not explicitly foresee sexual orientation or gender identity as a ground for asylum. This paper aims to analyze what different social group ground approaches exist and what impact these approaches have had on LGBTI asylum cases, as well as to determine the potential role that the interpretation has on them.

La representación mediática de las personas jóvenes españolas protagonistas de una nueva emigración hacia Europa en los últimos años suele recurrir, por defecto, a una composición homogeneizadora que no se corresponde con la realidad de este flujo. Este artículo contribuye a hacer visible la diversidad en la composición de los jóvenes españoles que emigran al extranjero en el contexto de crisis y sus estrategias específicas, a través del trabajo de campo etnográfico desarrollado en el área de Barcelona. El análisis se centra en el estudio de caso de Mariama, descendiente de migrantes de África occidental en Europa, y su movilidad comunitaria y de emancipación, que permite identificar la construcción y el uso del capital migratorio que subyace a la emergencia de un ‘nuevo’ proyecto de movilidad, sumándose a esa parte de la juventud española que se ha visto forzada a construir su futuro en otros países de Europa.

En este articulo se presentan algunos resultados de una investigacion cualitativa realizada en dos institutos publicos en Cataluna, con distinta composicion sociocultural, sobre las principales medidas de apoyo al alumnado que pueden contribuir desde nuestro sistema educativo a la lucha contra los altos indices de Abandono Escolar Prematuro tal como lo definieron los Objetivos del Milenio en Lisboa. En un contexto marcado por la reduccion de la inversion publica en educacion, se exploran y analizan algunas de estas medidas desde las condiciones en las que son implementadas en los centros y los factores de riesgo y proteccion que comportan, contemplando las multiples perspectivas y percepciones del profesorado, el alumnado y las familias.  El trabajo forma parte del proyecto comparativo europeo Reducing Early School Leaving in Europe (RESL.eu), que investiga los mecanismos y procesos que empujan a los jovenes a abandonar la escolarizacion y la formacion sin haber obtenido una cualifi...

Aquest article preten analitzar el tractament que han fet els mitjans de comunicacio respecte a l'anunci de la posada en marxa dels Espais de Benvinguda Educativa, vinculant aquest cas amb el tractament general de la immigracio a la premsa. Aquest analisi permet reflexionar sobre la produccio i reproduccio dels topics que apareixen en el discurs sobre educacio i migracions , establint una relacio de les principals caracteristiques que podem extreure del discursos dels mitjans: una perspectiva de l'alteritat sesgada, una problematitzacio de la diversitat a l'escola, una caracteritzacio dels alumnes estrangers des de la perspectiva del deficit, un biaix en l'us de conceptes vinculats a migracions i educacio i una perspectiva institucional i etnocentrica.

In the last years there has been a growing interest in international comparative assessment about the capacity of different immigrant-receiving countries and their education systems with to better respond to the challenges created by a certainly more complex composition of the student-body.

This paper presents some results of a qualitative research carried out in two public high schools with different sociocultural composition in Catalonia about the main support measures for students that can contribute in our education system to struggle against the high rate of Early School Leaving following the definition of the Lisbon Millennium Goals. In a context featured by the reduction of public investment in education, these measures are explored and analyzed within their conditions of implementation in schools and the risk and protective factors they entail, taking into account teachers’, students’ and families’ perspectives and perceptions. This piece of research is part of the comparative European Project Reducing Early School Leaving in Europe (RESL.eu) that investigates the mechanisms and processes pushing youth to leave formal education and training without post-compulsory academic or professional qualifications and intends to identify good practices that promote their ...

One in three children and adolescents is currently living in poverty in Catalonia. Most specialised research has been concerned with assessing and questioning current legal frameworks and policies to combat child poverty mainly through quantitative approaches. However, these approaches neglect the specific experiences, perspectives, and visions of children and their potential to provide important clues for the design and evaluation of policies to eradicate poverty. It is also uncommon to include the experiences and views of social intervention staff who often work in situations of extreme budgetary reductions with remedial—not transformative—models. The article presents some findings from a qualitative study commissioned by UNICEF to explore this double experience from the point of view of its protagonists on the front line, drawing on fieldwork carried out before the Covid‐19 pandemic that aggravated the living conditions of the most vulnerable sectors of society. The results show ...
