In their introduction to this special issue on "Volunteering in the context of flight and asylum - Empirical insights into (educational) practice", Fenna tom Dieck and Lisa Rosen outline the research field in Germany with a special focus on qualitative studies.

Johannes Eick, Markus Ottersbach — Fr, 24 Mai 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Third-country nationals are strongly underrepresented among volunteers, as noted by Johannes Eick and Markus Ottersbach in their contribution “Promoting the social engagement of third-country nationals in associations as a task of social work. Findings and recommendations from an evaluation study in North Rhine-Westphalia” in this issue. The authors identify the continued presence of local associations, the development of sustainable relationships and the long-term support of new volunteers as key factors for success. 3. Bauer

For her master‘s thesis, Verena Bauer conducted problem-centred interviews with refugee and non-refugee participants in social mentoring projects and privately organised tandem relationships and analysed the (mostly) asymmetrical relationships. In her article for this special issue, she summarises her analysis and points to the discomfort of both refugee and non-refugee participants with persistent power asymmetries, particularly in decision-making processes. She identifies different strategies used by participants to navigate and secure agency within these relationships.

On common ground, half full glasses and boundaries – Developing multi-perspectivity in research on social mentoring with refugees

Verena Bauer, Fenna tom Dieck, Sara Ismailaj, Lisa Rosen — Fr, 24 Mai 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In this article, Verena Bauer, Fenna tom Dieck, Sara Ismailaj and Lisa Rosen report on the process of developing multi-perspectivity in the research project “Social Mentoring in the Context of Flight and Asylum”. They present initial findings from their grounded theory analysis in relation to three different actor perspectives and various forms of social mentoring: University students who perceive common ground in critical service learning with mentees, mentees who have a pragmatic view of hierarchical structures in mentoring relationships, and professionals who stress the importance of boundaries in social mentoring.
