“…The category of education, although not as significant if compared to the quantity of research on mental health, revealed studies much more focused on the relationship between the care of education professionals and refugee children, seeking the integration of this group with other children and demonstrating the desire and weaknesses of educators to build multicultural pedagogical proposals (HURLEY et al, 2011;ANDERS, 2012;DVIR et al, 2015;TOBIN et al, 2015;.…”

“…In axis III -children and adults talking about the children, Dvir et al (2015) conduct a case study, through observations and interviews, with nine migrant and refugee children, parents, teachers, and school faculty in Israel, suggesting that, to be inclusive of foreign children, schools should have: (1) commitment to humanistic and multicultural stances; (2) a progressive and pragmatic dialectical approach to student empowerment, and (3) a dialectical pedagogical approach that emphasizes individualized therapeutic teaching.…”

Children are especially vulnerable in situations of migration and refuge due to exposure to trafficking, sexual exploitation, abandonment, hunger, violence and detention, which may compromise their development. The objective is to analyze, through a systematic literature review, the approaches used to investigate the migration and refuge situation of children up to 10 years of age. 92 articles were collected in six databases in the areas of mental health and education, published between 2010 and 2019. The impacts on mental health are striking because of the severity of the mental disorders affecting refugee children; in education, studies point to the relationship between care professionals in this area and children. The main data collection techniques used in the studies are: interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, and drawings. Texts from the perspective of children and adults talking about the children predominate. Even research that did not start from the premise of dialoguing with children's logic, built documents capable of reflecting the experience of the adults responsible for the children. Legislation and protocols for authorities listening to children, considering the best interest of the child, are scarce and not mobilizing, failing to unite universal efforts to protect and guarantee the fundamental rights of these children.

“…In 74 per cent of the cases, both parents came from the same country while 26 per cent of the parents came from different countries and met in Israel. According to the sample, 70 per cent of migrant workers’ children lived in Tel Aviv, mainly in South Tel Aviv (61%), while the rest (30%) lived in other parts of Israel; 50 per cent reported that they attended Bialik‐Rogozin elementary school in south Tel Aviv, that caters mostly to students from families of migrant workers and refugees (Dvir, Aloni and Harari, ), while the other 50 per cent attended different elementary schools in Tel Aviv and other cities. At the high school level, 35 per cent attended Bialik‐Rogosin, while 65 per cent of the children attended other Israeli schools.…”

“Now I am also Israeli”: From Illegality to Legality ‐ Life experiences and identities of migrant workers’ children after receiving civil status in Israel

In 2006 and 2010, following demands from local and international civil society organizations, Israel granted civil status to approximately 1500 undocumented migrant workers’ children. This was considered a “one time humanitarian gesture,” not to be repeated. Thousands of other children, who did not fulfill the required criteria, were left without civil status. Within the context of Israel, the homeland of the Jewish people, this mixed‐methods study explored how the children's life experiences have been constructed and reconstructed since the inception of their new civil status. According to the findings, 80 per cent of migrant workers’ children reveal a high degree of belonging to Israeli society, defining themselves as Israelis. For them, receiving civil status has four practical implications: being able to serve in the Israeli army; the ability to travel abroad; better access to the job market; and freedom from fear of deportation. Our study also revealed difficulties due to their religious and ethnic identities, reflected in the children's understandings of what it means to be Israeli. The complex manifestations of their newly acquired civil status is embedded in the concept of “freedom,” i.e. to do and to be what they really want to be.

“…While most studies focus on immigrant organizations and the first generation of immigrant groups, little attention has been paid to the engagement of these organizations with successive younger generations, both children and youth. Furthermore, while the lives of secondgeneration immigrants have been considered by researchers from different perspectives (e.g., Dvir et al 2015;Elias and Kemp 2010;Boyd 2009;Aparicio 2007;Louie 2001), researchers have not focused on the attention or supports given to the 1.5 and 2nd generations by immigrant organizations in the host countries. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to explore the extent of involvement of immigrant organizations with regard to the young 1.5 and 2nd generations from an organizational perspective.…”

Exploring Involvement of Immigrant Organizations With the Young 1.5 and 2nd Generations: Latin American Associations in Canada and Israel

This paper explores the extent of involvement of immigrant organizations with young 1.5 and 2nd generation immigrants by comparing two Latin American organizations: CSSP (The Centre for Spanish Speaking Peoples) in Canada and OLEI (Organizacion Latinoamericana en Israel) in Israel. By means of qualitative methodology, the findings indicate that while CSSP provides services to such young immigrants this is not the case with OLEI. This difference in the activities of these organizations can be explained by a theoretical schema composed of two key variables: characteristics of the immigrant population (motivation for immigration and the cultural heritage) and characteristics of the host country (immigration and integration policies and the society's attitude towards immigrants). The paper demonstrates the usefulness of descriptive comparative case studies in unearthing antecedent variables that can help in building theory.
