The project aims at advancing collaboration between stakeholders to evolve and improve scientific measures and guides, building capacity across these challenged areas, working holistically towards ensuring integration.
The main aim of this COST Action is to advance collaboration between stakeholders to evolve and improve scientific measures and guides, building capacity across these challenged areas, working holistically towards ensuring integration, reducing bullying and enhancing the safety and well-being of refugee and migrant students.
As a result, all students in EU secondary schools, aiding in the social stability of both the individual and society.

More about the project
These are our secondary aims:
- To foster collaboration between interdisciplinary experts in the research areas of, sociology, child and social psychology, education, migration, science, technology, and policy, to support a holistic approach to safety, bullying and integration in our school communities to last beyond the life of the Action.
- The co-operative creation of new updated school climate measures to meet modern migrant and ethnicity diversity challenges, enhancing integration, inclusiveness and aiding in the prevention and reduction of school bullying and violence.
- To establish and analyse on a cross-national basis the state of research, practice and policy with regards to refugee and migrant integration and anti-bullying measures within school communities.
- To better assess the success of approaches to integration and anti-bullying measures to identify effective methods that might be deployed or adapted to provide a more holistic, practical and policy-based approach at a local, national and EU level.
- To create a handbook of interventions and web-based resources for use alongside new school climate measures at a practical level.
- To draw on this research to develop and provide an evidence-driven and deliberated guidelines and policy advisory document to help highlight areas of concern and effectiveness, and provide recommendations to guide policy makers and society.
- To foster and enhance the experience of practitioners, Early Career Investigators (ECIs), in providing access to a collaborative, innovative research network.
- To establish continuing interdisciplinary collaborations that continue after the length of this action.
The Action has already completed several publications (cost.eu).
