“…Some authors emphasise the importance of both bonding and bridging ties. Others note the limitations and potential negative effects of exclusive reliance on bonding ties for migrants, arguing that strong ties within disadvantaged communities can contibute to exclusion (Eriksson, 2011;Wakefield & Poland, 2005). Many scholars correspondingly stress the value of bridging capital for providing additional resources to such communities (Ager & Strang, 2008;Beirens, Hughes, Hek, & Spicer, 2007;Field, 2003;Hardwick, 2003;Korac, 2003).…”

“…The development of group identity and social capital within groups is, by its nature, exclusionary with respect to those with different norms and identities. This raises difficulties for attempts to couple this type of social capital with social inclusion (Eriksson, 2011;Field, 2003;Wakefield & Poland, 2005). Unlike bonding networks, bridging networks are invariably depicted as positive for collective wellbeing (Narayan, 1999).…”

Sports participation can confer a range of physical and psychosocial benefits and, for refugee and migrant youth, may even act as a critical mediator for achieving positive settlement and engaging meaningfully in Australian society. This group has low participation rates however, with identified barriers including costs; discrimination and a lack of cultural sensitivity in sporting environments; lack of knowledge of mainstream sports services on the part of refugee-background settlers; inadequate access to transport; culturally determined gender norms; and family attitudes. Organisations in various sectors have devised programs and strategies for addressing these participation barriers. In many cases however, these responses appear to be ad hoc and under-theorised. This article reports findings from a qualitative exploratory study conducted in a range of settings to examine the benefits, challenges and shortcomings associated with different participation models. Interview participants were drawn from non-government organisations, local governments, schools, and sports clubs. Three distinct models of participation were identified, including short term programs for refugee-background children; ongoing programs for refugee-background children and youth; and integration into mainstream clubs. These models are discussed in terms of their relative challenges and benefits and their capacity to promote sustainable engagement and social inclusion for this population group.

“…Mas também transformações sociais precisam ocorrer, de forma a fazer com que o capital social aplicado à saúde sirva às necessidades sociais, à promoção da justiça social e ao empoderamento da população e não aos interesses políticos partidários ou aos interesses econômicos capitalistas. (40) Uma revisão sistemática evidenciou que as modalidades socioeducativas empregadas pelos ACS no Brasil tem sido muito mais impositivas do que integrativas. (39) O papel dos ACS tem se confundido com o de auxiliares de enfermagem.…”

ResumoO Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) foi instituído há 20 anos no Brasil e exige reflexões atualizadas para seu aperfeiçoamento. Tendo se inspirado no modelo canadense, o PSF brasileiro se propõe a ser uma estratégia de enfrentamento dos riscos de agravos e condições de saúde contemporâneas baseada no modelo de abordagem biopsicossocial. Entretanto, a compreensão dos conceitos sobre comunidade, família, gênero e etnicidade precisam ser aprofundados para melhores resultados das estratégias utilizadas pelas equipes de saúde e pelos agentes comunitários.O objetivo desta análise documental foi comparar o SUS com o sistema de saúde canadense, discutindo possíveis causas dos determinantes sociais de saúde que persistem no Brasil dentro dos PSFs.Para isso, se confrontou os achados de programas nacionais e de programas canadenses, com a literatura científica no tema. Os resultados demonstram que o PSF brasileiro precisa de reestruturação para que haja uma verdadeira promoção da saúde. Dentre as principais necessidades, destacam-se um novo papel para os agentes comunitários de saúde, melhores condições e ampliação das equipes profissionais de saúde e reorganização do sistema quanto ao papel das mulheres e dos homens e dos diferentes grupos étnicos.Palavras chave: Estratégia Saúde da Família; Atenção Primária à Saúde; Sistema Único de Saúde.

“…However, it is important to highlight how far The Stop CFC has come in both of these areas when compared to many other, similar organizations. This focuses attention on the broader structural challenges -including everything from the reluctance of funding agencies to support social justice oriented work (Lethabo-King & Osayande, 2007) to the fundamental material inequalities and cultural biases that dictate opportunities for participation in civic life (Wakefield & Poland, 2005) that must be overcome to create meaningful change in these areas.…”
