Third-party placements and their effects on life paths

December 7th, Bern and online

Foreign placements are defining cuts in life. If self-determination and personal rights are not given enough consideration in the context of measures, the negative effects - for education, for social and professional integration, for livelihood security - can mark the life paths of people well into old age. The situation of children and adolescents who have been placed abroad and their relatives is examined in a number of research projects of NRP 76. The three research projects presented allow insights into the life paths of people placed outside of the community and show possible consequences. At the dialogue event, the first results will be presented and, together with representatives from practice, placed in the current context.
