Child psychology alumna Frosso Motti-Stefanidi (ICD Ph.D. 1986; CEHD Distinguished International Alumni Award recipient, 2005) has been invited by the Working Group on the Quality of Childhood to present at the European Parliament.

The Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) funded an experts’ meeting via its research grant program on the topic of immigrant youth adaptation and well-being. That meeting took place in September 2015 in Greece, and was organized by Motti-Stefanidi, on behalf of the SRCD International Affairs Committee, and by Radosveta Dimitrova from Stockholm University, on behalf of the SRCD Racial and Ethnic Issues Committee. One of the outcomes of the meeting was a mission statement that used current scientific evidence to propose ways to promote immigrant and refugee youth positive adaptation.

Motti-Stefanidi has now been invited by the Working Group on the Quality of Childhood at the European Parliament to present the mission statement and speak on the topic of immigrant and refugee youth positive adaptation.
