The project is based on the existing practical experience in the field. It combines this expertise with a participatory evaluation and research model that allows for the practitioners to share their expertise in a discourse with professional research, while addressing the specific needs of vulnerable groups among asylum seekers using the synergy effects of diversity. The project focuses on the development and dissemination of good practice by a)Introducing an inventory on care and treatment methods as well as staff care, b)setting an agenda for research based on the experience of practitioners in the field.
