Equal opportunities
City- and educational sociologist Iliass El Hadioui will present in a Ted-Talk about the sociological-demographic transition of big cities into super-diverse cities. This transition causes new youth cultures and languages to develop. Along with the growing plurality in family cultures, this transition presents a challenge for children and youngsters, since they need to switch between different languages, attitudes and social codes in- and outside of the school culture. To conclude, Iliass El Hadioui will highlight the significance of self efficacy as the most important form of resilience for students and professionals in urban schools.
