“…cultural bereavement), and, on the other hand, the availability of new opportunities and developments upon return, such as the increased importance of formal education and rapid changes and opportunities because of globalisation and development (such as technological advances and mass and digital media), encouraged by the Ugandan government and the international community. The latter, for example, has led to increased promotion of certain parenting practices and beliefs (such as positive parenting and neuro-focused parenting) and child participation (Macvarish and Lee, 2019;Macvarish and Martin, 2021;Walakira et al, 2021). Thus, the settings, practices, and beliefs surrounding the way in which children should be raised after return are plural, inconsistent, and open for discussion, potentially bringing about feelings of insecurity among caregivers, as reflected in the anxiety of our older participants who highly valued the pre-war 'true teachings in terms of respect .…”

Since the end of the Second World War in 1945, the erection of camps within and across state borders has become the most common response to the influx of displaced persons. Based on empirical evidence from northern Uganda, this paper aims to provide answers to two main questions: (i) how does the camp influence and frame the upbringing of children?; and (ii) how do caregivers shape and adjust upbringing within this setting and when they return to their ‘former homes’ ? Interviews and focus‐group discussions were conducted with 48 caregivers living in Kitgum District, northern Uganda. Deductive thematic analysis was employed to structure participants' accounts of past and present interconnections between upbringing and (previous) encampment. By paying close attention to their (counter‐)narratives, people's agency and coping are emphasised through the simultaneous forging of new interconnections (that is, discontinuities) and holding on to old interconnections (that is, continuities) between upbringing, the camp, and the post‐war village.
