Summer school - Intergenerational relationships in transnational families
Families that are geographically dispersed due to economic or forced migration; families in which a member works abroad almost continuously; families in which a (mostly) young person lives abroad for a longer period for study or internship, etc. Obviously, the realities of transnational families are very different. By attending this summer school, participants will get a better understanding of the growing, rapidly changing phenomenon and dynamics of transnational families.
The Summer School is taught in English, but open to everyone!
