This is Pathways

PATHWAYS research centre studies children and young people’s movements in, between, and out of institutions and services such as the Child Welfare Services, Services for Children and Youth with Disabilities, Health Services for Children and Youth, Correctional Services and the welfare and employment centre.

Start: December 1st. 2024. End: December 31st. 2029.

"Institutional traces” refers to children and youths’ exposure to different institutional logics, how they inhabit and escape from institutions and their encounters with services related to life transitions. The centre explores the inter-twining of care and control functions in various institutional settings where professional practices are highly regulated and analyses these from a procedural justice perspective. Through child- and youth-centred research the goal is to generate new knowledge and build practice capacity in supporting and improving children and young people’s institutional experiences. Architecture, design and user participation are central, and the center’s aim is to develop innovative proposals that to a greater extent are adapted to children, young people and their families.​

PATHWAYS is a research collaboration between VID Specialized University, KRUS, NORCE, NTNU and HIOF. Practice partners are Buf etat east, The Correctional services, Tverrfaglig.no, NAV, NAKU and Salto. Experts by experience are an earlier prisoner and gang member, LBB, User council at Vestfold Probation Office and LUPE.
