From Protection to Inclusion: A handbook for teachers on children in alternative care and adopted children

The European-funded project Brighter Future, coordinated in the Netherlands by Mónica López López, has published a handbook for primary and secondary teachers with strategies to facilitate the inclusion of children with non-traditional family histories in the classroom. From Protection to Inclusion offers opportunities for reflection and practical suggestions to address the realities faced not only by children who are adopted or in out-of-home care, but also those who have arrived in a new country without parental figures or guardians. The handbook has been published in English, Dutch, Italian and Spanish, and is available for download at the project website: http://brighterfutureproject.eu

The Brighter Future team is made up of seven organizations from four countries: the government of Turin and the University of Verona in Italy; Pharos and the University of Groningen in the Netherlands; PAC-UK in the United Kingdom; and CORA and the Autonomous University of Barcelona in Spain. The researchers at the University of Groningen are: Mónica López López, Elianne Zijlstra, Carla van Os and Mijntje then Brummelaar.
