Résumé :
PThis book is based on the work of a European partnership, whose members came together from Belgium, England, Finland, Germany, Portugal and Greece to generate new ways of thinking about the situation of young people aged between 14 and 25 who are at risk of (or experiencing) social exclusion. It offers a unique international analysis of policies, contexts and perspectives, and the challenges of promoting lifelong learning among those who have rejected it early in life. This volume is of interest to researchers and practitioners, politicians, planners and all professionals holding the responsibility for integration strategies. /P
