Profile | His works focus on the question why conventional spaces of participation (urban quarter houses, citizens’ centres, houses of neighbourhood associations, etc.) increasingly tumble into crisis or – to phrase it more carefully – only reach certain social groups. It seems that especially children and adolescents who are affected by social disadvantage lose chances for access through the applied participation concepts and their comprehensions of space. Their form of dedication lie in the invisibility (“invisible youth”). |
