Abstract

Within the Syrian refugees’ initiative, Canada has adopted a leading role in welcoming a significant number of Syrian refugees, over 1,600 of which have settled in Windsor-Essex. This signifies the importance of enhancing our role as a host society in fostering opportunities that would lead Syrians to a successful integration. This book chapter consults literature on acculturation as well as facilitative factors and impediments that influence immigrants and refugees’ integration.Integration is the strategy characterized by individuals or groups who are interested in maintaining their cultural heritage while establishing interactions with the larger society (Behrens, del Pozo, Großhennig, Sieberer, & Graef-Calliess, 2015; Berry, 2001, 2005, 2014; Paterson, 2008). The chapter also highlights the importance of incorporating youth’s perspectives to understand their integration experience. The stories of three youth present examples where youths’ motive for achieving potential combined with formal and informal supports can facilitate initial integration milestones. Engaging youth voices can be used as a means of healing by drawing on their perspectives, thereby, youth are acknowledged and valued. Consequently, reconciliation is an anticipated outcome through social integration opportunities that the host (Canadian) society can help foster.
新移民青年最初融入里程碑的促进因素和障碍:阿拉伯新移民青年经验
在叙利亚难民倡议范围内,加拿大在欢迎大量叙利亚难民方面发挥了主导作用,其中1600多名难民已在温莎-埃塞克斯定居。这表明必须加强我们作为东道国社会的作用,以创造机会,使叙利亚人成功融入社会。这本书的章节咨询文献文化适应以及促进因素和障碍,影响移民和难民的融合。整合是一种策略,其特征是个人或群体在与更大的社会建立互动的同时,对维护自己的文化遗产感兴趣(Behrens, del Pozo, Großhennig, Sieberer, & grafe - calliess, 2015;Berry, 2001, 2005, 2014;帕特森,2008)。本章还强调了纳入青年观点以了解他们融入社会经历的重要性。三个青年的故事提供了一个例子,说明青年实现潜力的动机与正式和非正式的支持相结合,可以促进最初的融合里程碑。吸收青年的声音可以作为一种治疗手段,利用他们的观点,从而使青年得到承认和重视。因此,和解是东道国(加拿大)社会可以帮助促进的社会融合机会的预期结果。
