People from all parts of the world come to Hamburg to enrich the city with their culture, their religion, their languages and traditions. Anyway, parents from abroad do not understand every routine and topic in our schools, e. g. swimming lessons, school trips or sex education. On the other side, teachers do not have an understanding for every religious or cultural need of their students, e.g. religious festivals or periods of fasting. In this session we will share experience about how to cope with matters which appear unfamiliar to migrant parents.

Combining examples from practice of the projects MeMoRe (Hefboom, Belgium) and MeMoGA (LAMSA, Germany) as part of the transnational network the workshop offers exchange of good practice from two perspectives on mentoring to work for refugees.

Developing a model of research-practice partnership involving researchers and practitioners is necessary to shed some light on what practices and discussions may improve the effectiveness of such programs. However, it is known that partnerships could bring disagreements and dissents on the researched topic. In this session, the partnership is outlined as a process that could reconcile potentially conflicting goals.
