Europe International experts on child migration sought for transnational research / The deadline for application is April 15, 2014.

Project : MARIO II 2 Apr 2014

In the framework of the Mario project, partners have decided to initiate a series of research on the situation of C/SEE migrant children carrying out economic activities in the streets of major urban areas in four countries (Italy, Greece, 

The Netherlands, Kosovo and the Former Republic of Macedonia).

An initial mapping confirmed the presence of Romanian and Bulgarian children in the cities of Greece, Italy and 

The Netherlands as well as Albanian children in Greece, Kosovo and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

International experts experienced in the issue of migration are sought to carry out research with the following goals:

• identify emerging C/SEE children’s migration patterns.

• offer an in-depth understanding of the vulnerability factors that affect C/SEE migrant children during their migration path and once they have settled in.

• analyze the adequacy and effectiveness of government responses to the protection needs of C/SEE migrant children.

• support Mario partners’ advocacy efforts with evidence-based recommendations on the improvement of the transnational protection of C/SEE migrant children

The deadline for application is April 15, 2014.
