The aim of the workshop is to explore challenges faced by refugee youth and to encourage exchange between different disciplines and stakeholders. To this end, the workshop will bring together academic experts and practitioners to discuss research findings and field programs designed for refugee youth.

The workshop will host up to 50 attendees, including academics, early career researchers (PhDs, Postdocs), students, and non-academic attendees (e.g. NGO professionals and practitioners working in the field).

It will include specialized thematic sessions on refugee research, mental health, acculturation, development, round table discussions with researchers and practitioners; panel discussions, and poster presentations by early career researchers.
