Abstract:
|
The young men and women of foreign background living in the suburbs of major cities are at the
focus of attention of a vast array of social and economic initiatives. From state-driven development
programs aiming at bridging the digital divide (Barinaga, 2010) and private-led schools working with the
youth, to civil society organizations addressing domestic violence or drug-abuse as well as other forms
of voluntary associations such as women groups or ethnic minority associations. These initiatives are all
committed to attaining change concerning the living conditions of particular communities. |
