Professor Jóhanna Einarsdóttir mener, at man i børnenes tidlige skoleår er nødt til at erkende den nye multikulturelle virkelighed, vi lever i, og fokusere på tilhørsforhold for at facilitere en bedre inklusion. I dag oplever børn med udenlandsk baggrund i højere grad end andre børn at blive ekskluderet og afvist i daginstitutionen og det første år i folkeskolen.
Er det på høje tid at skræddersy daginstitutioner og de første år i folkeskolen? Det mener den hollandske forsker Barbara Piškur. Lærerne vil blive mindre stressede, og eleverne vil have lettere ved at deltage og føle sig mere hjemme i skolen. Lyder det for godt til at være sandt? Ikke i følge forskningen.
Hvis du er en ung flyktning med opphold i Norden, er sjansen stor for at du har dårligere fysisk og psykisk helse, lavere utdannelse og er mer arbeidsledig enn majoritetsbefolkningen.
Societal change is accelerating through continued rapid population growth and significant changes in demographics, technological advances, and increasing interconnectedness between various infrastructures. Together with climate change and a new global security situation these trends will inevitably lead to a change in the risk landscape. One of the key actors that has to deal with such change is the Fire and Rescue Services. These organisations are both governed by, and dependent on, formal and informal networks.
Often there are areas on the outskirts of a country where emergency response is rudimentary, located far from major cities and where critical infrastructure is vulnerable to these types of events. This is first and foremost untenable/indefensible for the citizens; however, authorities with emergency management responsibility need new methods in order to support the communities in their own efforts to build capacity, since the fire and rescue services do not necessarily have the capacity to carry out search and rescue operations as they are expected to in the future. One of the many challenges, besides the violent and devastating events themselves, is that the areas can also be threatened with relocation if the locals are unable to cope with the rising threats of climate change – this is critical for the Nordic societies in general.
Nyere studie fra Island afslører, at mange turister trodser gentagne advarselsskilte, når de besøger seværdigheder. Vi føler os usårlige, når vi er på ferie, og vi vil gerne have den perfekte selfie, lyder en af forklaringerne fra forsker bag undersøgelsen.
