(insecure housing, lack of social networks, employment restrictions),
coupled with financial restrictions, which means that many occupy public
spaces of cities/towns where they seek refuge. Their presence in public
spaces has however been strongly problematized in Europe. This research
project will debate how refugee youth can contribute their own
histories, voices and agencies to the development of convivial public
spaces and to what extent this can enhance their participation in
society. Arts and Cultural Initiatives will be used as an entry point to
researching the personal geographies of young refugees and asylum
seekers in four European Cities (Newcastle, Leipzig, Brussels and
Amsterdam) mapping their migration histories, exploring their post
arrival experiences and asking how their placemaking contribute to the
transformation of public space.

The Dutch project team is supervised by Dr. Ilse van Liempt who is part of the Urban Geography Department within the Social Urban Transitions (SUT) research programme in the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning, Faculty of Geosciences at Utrecht University. The German team is led by Dr. Kathrin Horschelmann and the Belgian team by Dr. Hassan Bousetta.
