    Potenziale internationaler jugendbegegnungsprojekte zur förderung persönlichkeitsprägender kompetenzen von menschen mit fluchterfahrung in Deutschland
    (Türk-Alman Üniversitesi, 2018) Kaiatz, Nadine; Struck, Ernst
    Since 2011, Germany has been affected by increasing migration and refugee movement due to the Syrian War and the partial suspension of the Dublin Regulation for Syrians. These movements pose a major challenge, for example, to implement methods to foster integration of children and adolescents into the German education system and society. Apart from schools, international youth projects and non-formal learning settings are able to improve individual learning processes and foster social participation. Despite their potential success, there is a gap in the literature explaining the effectiveness of international youth projects amongst adolescent refugees. This study analyses the potential of international youth projects in supporting three pillars of personal development: Personal Identity, Intercultural Agency and bottom-up activities. The study employed an experimental qualitative research. Transcripts of individual interviews were analysed using three categories and 10 sub-categories that were proposed by Thomas (2006) and validated through interviews with experts. Findings revealed a positive effect of the category Personal Identity on two sub categories reflexivity and intercultural agency. In particular, the study found a positive influence on the level of reflexivity on personal and foreign culture reference systems. Regarding Intercultural agency, limited effects were observed for sub-categories. Unbiased perception of culturally specific actions and thoughts and Openness towards other environments. Likewise, only partial effects were found for bottom-up activities and the sub-categories participation at other activities and qualifying measures and engaging with social and voluntary programmes. No effect was found for personal identity and the sub-categories increased self-confidence, self-esteem and sense of responsibility. Similarly, intercultural agency and its sub-category acknowledgement of interpersonal differences revealed no effect. Overall, the study confirmed that international youth projects facilitates the sensitisation of participants and thus initiates processes of reflexivity and awarenessbuilding.
