The overall aim of the Master is to contribute to the creation of environments that promote the resilience and growth of marginalised children and young people by providing them with the tools, resources and learning contexts which facilitate their social and emotional learning and wellbeing and consequently their social inclusion and active citizenship. It consists of a set of study units tailored to build up practitioners' competence in responding and addressing the needs of children and young people at risk in their development and education, particularly those from ethnic, linguistic, and migrant communities, from socio-economic disadvantage and children with learning difficulties and additional educational needs. The Master programme integrates theory, research and practice in developing the participants' professional learning. It consists of three major components, namely content-based study units on theory and practice in the promotion of resilience in children and young people, observation/practice placement, and a dissertation.
