Abstract:

To collect data for this report a field study was performed at an orphanage in Cape Town, South Africa. I carried out volunteer work for eight weeks to find out more about the children’s situations. I wanted to find out what it was like to work at an orphanage for children in need and what the employees were doing to help. The children’s ages ranged from five to eighteen years old and they all lived together, although boys and girls slept in different rooms.

Before I went to South Africa, I thought that an orphanage was a place for children without parents, who had been abandoned when they where infants. Some of the children at the orphanage come from situations like this, but many of them have family who they need help and protection from. Their own parents cannot take care of them because of different social problems such as sexual abuse, drug abuse or poverty.

During the field study qualitative research was performed, where the people that I worked with and the children in the orphanage were participating. Observation was also included in my field work. The result of the field study was very interesting. The most important findings from my results were that all of the people I spoke to said that they would like to see some changes at the orphanage. They came up with plenty of different ideas to make the environment better. I interviewed five employees at the orphanage and all of them said that they would like to extend the amount of employees, have better communication among themselves, therapy sessions - and more weekend activities for the children. During this period of the field study I interviewed a lot of children of different ages, but out of the interviews six where used in this report.

Abstract:

Pro bono work has always appealed to me. The prospect of being able to help those less fortunate with my knowledge and skillset is uplifting and gratifying. There is something truly rewarding about taking the architectural knowledge and training I have received and finding a solution to a problem for a nonprofit or a group of people that could not easily afford to hire someone. It gives me the opportunity to explore creative solutions with a low budget while still making something beautiful and thoughtful, that not only provides the spaces needed but also adds the detailing and uniqueness that gives the place and its users a sense of pride and pleasure. This thesis seeks to present the programmatic needs, local building materials and resources, a study in efficient building, the local needs and customs, and ways to improve people's lives with an orphanage in Savanette, Haiti. The goal is to explore the fundamental needs of an orphanage and a school in a developing country and develop strategies to address these needs. A successful orphanage needs to provide comfortable housing but also a sense of safety and security, a loving environment where orphans can grow and heal, a self-sustaining community that can care for the facility, and a means to train and educate orphans for adulthood and the working world. Since education is such a central need for an orphanage, and since schools are limited in Haiti, it only made sense to open this up to children in the surrounding area as well. The purpose of this thesis is to develop an architectural language of building components that can be utilized to answer the programmatic needs of the orphanage and school. This system creates the overall structural layout and is intended to be an easily constructible and expandable model while providing good design that is culturally sensitive.

Abstract:

Architecture cannot target only a particular age group or type of person worthy of its attention, but rather must respond to the entire human condition. I chose to design a project that would allow me to consider architecturally the span between birth and death, with both segregated and interactive spaces for the various age groups. The site echoes the human condition in complexity—a steep, wooded slope partially encircling a flat open area, separated by a large, flat stream, further disrupted by a tiny, steeply falling stream. Located on the outskirts of Newport Virginia, the project is a small, self-contained community intended to relate to the existing town in spirit as Le Corbusier’s La Tourette relates to the nearby town of Eveaux—felt and glimpsed but not seen. The building is organized around a series of major concrete walls, paired for circulation and containing volumes between the pairs, spaced in multiples of two and three. These walls are oriented to the geologic strike of the rock beds, perhaps the most permanent of all site qualities. Bridges link portions of the project on both sides of the stream, and the center is carved out to form an open plaza; a microcosm of the valley and surrounding ridges which make up the landscape.

Abstract:

The project aims to establish a premier institution of primary education in Pakistan with the primary focus of reintegrating orphans into society. Currently, approximately 20 million children are out of schools in Pakistan and 4 million of those are orphans. Basera, an Urdu term for Haven will be an institution of international standards comprised of all North American teachers. The institution is envisioned to be self sufficient with no need of charity donations by operating at a 60-40 division of general public to resident orphan pupils. The campus boasts state of the art teaching facilities as well as a full fledge sports complex and an indoor swimming pool. Faculty and 40% of the student population lives on campus with a beautiful flower farm and a rainwater harvested lake. The architecture is very contemporary in its design, however the primary building material is rammed earth grounding the entire scheme into its vernacular setting. Basera also enriches the lives of the immediate community surrounding the campus by providing a cricket stadium and community center for public use.

Abstract:

There are an estimated eight million children residing in orphanages, or residential care institutions, globally, however it is estimated that at least four out of five of these children are not orphans. It is well documented that many children in developing States are recruited from their families into orphanages for the purpose of exploitation and profit, a process known as ‘paper orphaning’ or ‘orphanage trafficking’. Paper orphaning involves the recruitment of a child from their family by a child finder or orphanage operator; the manipulation of gatekeeping procedures to admit the child to an orphanage; the construction of fraudulent documentation to attest to the child’s orphaned status; and the maintenance of the child in ongoing institutionalisation for the purpose of profit through donor funding and orphanage tourism. Since 2005, paper orphaning has been anecdotally referred to as ‘trafficking’ but without a legal basis given for the assertion. More recently, the trafficking of children into orphanages was included in the United States Department of State Trafficking in Persons Reports of 2017 and 2018, and considered by the Australian Government as part of its Inquiry into whether Australia should have a Modern Slavery Act in 2017. This thesis provides the legal argument that underpins this recognition, establishing that the recruitment of children into orphanages for the purpose of exploitation and profit is a form of child trafficking under international law. A comprehensive analysis of paper orphaning as a form of child trafficking is presented in this thesis. It details the process of paper orphaning, and demonstrates the prevalence of paper orphaning in developing States by analysing eight representative States across four regions in the developing world where there is evidence that the rising number of children in institutional care is in part due to the presence of donor funding and orphanage tourism. The prevalence of paper orphaning globally establishes the need for a consistent international response and provides a rationale for the application of international law. Paper orphaning is facilitated by an enabling environment where the utility of the orphan child in aid and development is manipulated by governments and non-government organisations in part to profit from donor funding and orphanage tourism. Orphanage tourism, where people pay to visit or volunteer with orphans, has become an increasingly popular tourist activity over the past decade. The increasing demand for orphanage tourism has created a demand for the maintenance of an orphan population to visit and volunteer with. Paper orphaning meets this demand by recruiting children under the guise of providing an education, and forcing them to pretend to be orphans. Paper orphaning is a form of child trafficking under the definition found in the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime 2000 (‘Trafficking Protocol’). To meet the requirements of the definition of child trafficking in the Trafficking Protocol, both the act and purpose elements of that definition must be satisfied. Previously, the major point of contention for paper orphaning being regarded as child trafficking is that it did not meet the purpose element. This thesis argues that there are two ways the purpose element is satisfied in paper orphaning. The first is that paper orphans are subjected to forms of exploitation that are listed in the Trafficking Protocol. The second is that where paper orphans experience forms of exploitation that are not listed in the Trafficking Protocol, the ‘purpose element’ can be satisfied in situations where the conduct exhibits that an unfair advantage is present and a threshold of seriousness is met. Paper orphans commonly experience two forms of exploitation that meet the purpose element: ongoing institutionalisation for profit and orphanage tourism. Thus, in many, and perhaps most, cases, paper orphaning can be interpreted as a form of child trafficking under international law. To combat paper orphaning as a form of child trafficking, a comprehensive multi-sector framework focusing on both anti-trafficking and child protection mechanisms should be implemented. This framework entails the criminalisation and prosecution of paper orphaning as child trafficking; the prevention of paper orphaning through addressing vulnerability, demand, corruption and complicity; and the provision of protection and assistance for child victims of paper orphaning focusing on identification, reintegration, and access to remedies.

Abstract:

In Boma Ng’ombe in the Kilimanjaro Region in Tanzania lies an orphanage that is run by the organization KCJF. The orphanage is known as Kichijo and it is supported by the Swedish non-profit humanitarian organization I Aid Africa. Children’s rights have been given special attention in Tanzania over the last years, and the Social Welfare Department has drawn up guidelines concerning the management of orphanages. Today, the Kichijo does not fulfil these guidelines, and need new premises to do so. The situation would be improved by relocating the orphanage and erecting new buildings in a more fertile area. Such relocation would also be in line with the manageress’ wish of being self-supportive. Two suitable plots have become available in a village further up the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. One of the plots can hold orphanage buildings and one is intended for farming. To proceed with the relocation new premises that are in line with all regulations need to be planned. That planning is the purpose of the project that is described here. Regulations are imposed by the social welfare and by national building regulations. Further demands are given by the KCJF and I Aid Africa, and the plots themselves make up some restrictions. Major directing prerequisites have been the number of children at the orphanage and the demands regarding area, gender and age separation that are imposed by the social welfare department. Drawings and site plans can be seen in appendix A-01.1-01 to A-49.0-04. In the presented layout common and staff areas are gathered in a main building. Gender separation is accomplished by separate dormitories for boys and girls, with separate rooms for the different age groups. The buildings are adapted to the terrain to avoid increased work and costs. A suggested utilization of the farm plot can be seen in Figure 24 and in Appendix A-01.1-03. The farm has been given least attention, and only draft plans are presented. The drafts show facilities and disposition that fulfil the demands for the number of animals that the orphanage owns today. Both I Aid Africa and KCJF want the new premises to have a low environmental impact. Environmental considerations are taken by planning for ecological sanitation and investigating the possibilities of rainwater harvesting. To aid the client I Aid Africa in the further process, a chapter describing real estate transactions and construction processes is included. The main obstacle has been that the land intended for the orphanage buildings proved too small to hold buildings that fulfil all requirements. Therefore, the plans presented are based on the assumption that an adjacent plot can be bought. If that transaction cannot be carried through another alternative is to reduce the number of children. The suggested disposition can then easily be remade. The first steps towards relocating Kichijo have been taken.

Abstract:

In Sudan, 110 babies are abandoned in the streets of Khartoum every month. The majority of abandoned children are born out of wedlock. Young women with illegitimate pregnancies are often ostracized by their families and society, and the lack of emotional, financial and legal support has led many to take desperate measures, including the abandonment of their children. Relinquishing mothers exist like ghosts in Sudanese society. The only evidence of the mother’s experience is her anonymous, abandoned child. In order to understand and examine this phenomenon, I used ethnographic performance art informed by design research practice (Performative Research Design). I performed various acts of abandonment to examine the mechanism and psychology of the act of abandonment. I endeavored through concrete, lived experiences to better empathize with the relinquishing mother and create awareness of the wider psychological and social complexities of child abandonment.

Cohen, Lawrence. "A study in institutionalism : the Jewish children's orphanage at Norwood." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2010. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/344631/.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis is a study in child institutionalism focussed on the Jewish orphanage at Norwood. The chronology of institutionalism is divided into three phases. The phases correspond to periods of growth, consolidation and decline. The introductory chapter provides a brief history of Norwood as a background to the study. The sources available - archives, recollections and published works - are reviewed to reveal a significant gap in Anglo-Jewish history. A Study in Institutionalism is outlined in chapter 1 as a prelude to the analysis undertaken in the following chapters. The institutional theme is initially examined by analysing the names used for Norwood in chapter 2. It is argued names are not merely external labels but are also linked with ‘internal forces’ that make the institution’s ‘personality’. This connection provides the basis for the linguistic study of name changing covering the years 1807 to 1961. In chapter 3 the expansion phase is examined as a Jewish template of institutionalism at Norwood. In chapter 4 the template of the institution is broadened to include national and international developments. The wider perspective include the new continental ideas on residential care, the parallel institution of the Poor Law system, the residential solutions of the evangelical charities sceptical of the large institution, and in America the institution’s progressive transformation into one that was more child-centred. The second phase of institutionalism during the inter-war period is studied in chapter 5. At Norwood, on the one hand, liberal reforms were introduced to improve the lives of the children and, on the other hand, there was structural stagnation. It was a phase marked by institutional self-doubt that in American Jewish orphanages saw a movement towards the ‘child developing institution’ in which the child rather than the institution took precedence, whereas this was less developed in Britain. The theme of counter- institutionalism is examined in chapter 6. The focus is on the children and the way they adapted to institutional life. Rebelliousness was one extreme form and expressed itself in the exceptional Norwood Rebellion of 1921 as well as ongoing resistance to corporal punishment. The penultimate chapter concludes the historical trajectory of the child institution at Norwood with its downfall and closure. The post-war period was marked by the findings of the Curtis Committee on the workings of such institutions. At Norwood the impact was seen in the structural reforms of the 1950s carried out under Edward Conway leading ultimately to the closure of the orphanage in 1961 and its replacement by family homes. The ideological transformation from institutionalism to one based on the paramount importance of the child concludes the study relating to the third phase of institutionalism. The concluding chapter provides a judgment on institutionalism – whether Norwood was a ‘good enough’ institution for the children, and more broadly whether Norwood was ahead or behind in its outlook compared with other examples in Britain and beyond.

Abstract:

There has been considerable research in the past several decades on the emotional and physical harm caused to children by being kept in institutional care including developmental problems, and social and behavioural abnormalities. In 1990, the United Nations ratified its Convention on the Rights of the Child, setting the scene for countries throughout the world to recognise the family home as the ideal location for children to be raised, rather than regarding institutional care as the “desirable alternative”. The UN’s Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children in 2010 further reiterated family-based care as the priority and institutional care such as orphanages as the last resort. These UN documents firmly established an agenda for participating countries such as Indonesia which resolved to address its heavy reliance on institutional care. Of increasing concern throughout the world, including Indonesia, was the negative impact of orphanage voluntourism, where tourists volunteered and donated funds and goods to orphanages. In a bid by many Westerners in the Global North to “do their part” to help the poorer Global South, these tourists were unwittingly “feeding” the orphanage sector, with children who had one or both parents being surrendered by their families to orphanages to meet voluntourism demand. The “intersection” of orphanage care and voluntourism has added to the physical and emotional harm of children in orphanages, including exposure to sexual exploitation and trafficking, attachment disorders, child labour and other exploitations. This thesis considers the role of educational and communications campaigns, as well as other communication forms, in the discourse over the intersection of orphanage care and voluntourism. It provides a Bali perspective in comparison to global, Indonesian and Australian perspectives. The thesis considers the complex factors influencing orphanage care and voluntourism in Indonesia, particularly Bali, given the various economic, political and religious influences since the 1600s when orphanage care was first introduced during Dutch colonial rule. While the Indonesian Government eventually decided to address its heavy reliance on orphanage care by implementing legislative and policy changes, it also provided a compromise position, recognising how entwined orphanage care has been within the Indonesian community. Taking into account the anti-orphanage and voluntourism perspective, as well as the counter argument, this thesis considers how this discourse is communicated within the local community and the broader global context. While global campaigns have existed since 2011, there have been minimal Indonesian-specific campaigns. In Bali, which is a tourist mecca where the orphanage-tourism interaction would be prevalent, there are no specific campaigns. Despite this void, there are other forms of communication used for the discourse over the orphanage-voluntourism intersection, which are considered in this thesis. This thesis includes a literature review, content analysis as well as basic data analysis. This thesis emphasises that while institutional care is a “last resort” for the care of children, it is still an option. The view that orphanages should not exist at all could be considered a privileged Western perspective of the Global North where orphanages are stigmatised and economic fortitude combined with well-established childcare alternatives have allowed orphanages to be phased out. This privileged view does not necessarily recognise conditions in countries such as Indonesia where there is widespread poverty, slow improvements to childcare and alternatives such as foster care, as well as religious and cultural influences. It is in this context that there are still families in Indonesia, including Bali, who consider “good” orphanages as providing opportunities for their children.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Parental loss and orphanage placement can be stressful and can negatively influence the well-being of children. However, few studies have been conducted on the psychological well-being of Ghanaian orphans placed in orphanages. As a result, the impact of orphanage placement following parental loss in Ghana is not well understood. The present study aimed to explore the psychological functioning and experiences of orphaned children placed in orphanages in comparison to non-orphaned children in Accra, Ghana. A mixed-method design with elements of both quantitative and qualitative approaches was used. For quantitative data, questionnaires were used to source information pertaining to quality of life, stress (symptoms of depression and anxiety), problems experienced during the month, coping strategies, perceived social support, perceived self-efficacy and resilience. For qualitative data, follow-up interviews with selected orphaned participants were used to delve into participants’ experiences of placement in an orphanage. Purposive sampling was used to select participants who were aged between seven and 17 years. The sample comprised 100 orphaned children, placed in four orphanages, and 100 non-orphans sampled from two public schools in Accra. The quantitative data were analysed using the t-test, the chi-square test, Pearson product-moment correlation analyses, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analyses. The qualitative data were analysed through content and thematic analyses. The results revealed that orphaned children showed more anxiety symptoms than non-orphans but both groups of children presented with high levels of depressive symptoms. The predominant problems for both groups of children were problems with school and relationship problems with peers and caregivers. However, for orphaned children, relationship problems with peers were commonly cited whereas for non-orphans, problems cited were relationship difficulties with caregivers. Despite the heightened emotional distress, orphaned children reported high levels of self-efficacy and resilience as well as stronger perceptions of available support from friends than non-orphans. Non-orphaned children perceived significantly stronger support from families than orphaned children. Regression analyses also revealed that for orphaned children, anxiety and support-seeking coping emerged as significant predictors of qualify of life whereas depression emerged as a significant predictor of quality of life for non-orphaned children. Self-efficacy emerged as a significant positive predictor of resilience for orphaned children whereas self-efficacy and perceived social support emerged as significant positive predictors of resilience for non-orphans. The results of the thematic analyses of the follow-up interviews with selected orphans also revealed that orphanage placement evoked both negative and positive experiences. While orphanages provided structure, nurturance, a safe home environment and avenues for positive peer relationships that engendered a sense of belonging, they were also associated with financial constraints and relationship problems with peers and caregivers. In addition, the Christian-religious orientation of the orphaned children appeared to foster orphans’ well-being. The present study provided evidence that both the orphaned and non-orphaned children were vulnerable to psychological distress. Therefore, interventions should be effected to both groups of children. Furthermore, the study showed that orphanages provided sanctuary and nurturance to orphans who lack parental care and could be considered as a viable form of orphan care in Ghana.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ouerverlies en weeshuisplasing veroorsaak stres en kan die welstand van kinders negatief beïnvloed. Min navorsingstudies is egter gedoen oor die psigologiese welstand van Ghanese weeskinders wat in weeshuise geplaas word. Die gevolg is dat die impak van weeshuisplasing ná ouerverlies nie goed in Ghana verstaan word nie. Die studie is daarop gemik om die psigologiese funksionering en ervarings van kinders wat ouerloos gelaat en in weeshuise in Accra, Ghana, geplaas word, te ondersoek en dit met dié van nieweesgelate kinders te vergelyk. ’n Gemengdemetode-ontwerp met elemente van beide kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe benaderings is gebruik. Vraelyste is vir die kwantitatiewe data gebruik ten einde inligting te bekom oor lewenskwaliteit, stres (simptome van depressie en angs), daaglikse streswekkers of stressors, behartigingstrategieë, waargenome sosiale steun, waargenome selfbedrewendheid en veerkrag. Vir die kwalitatiewe data is opvolgonderhoude met geselekteerde weesgelate deelnemers gevoer ten einde die deelnemers se geleefde ervarings van plasing in ’n weeshuis indringend te bekyk. Doelgerigte steekproefneming is gebruik om deelnemers tussen die ouderdom van sewe en 17 jaar oud te selekteer. Die steekproef het bestaan uit 100 weesgelate kinders wat in vier weeshuise geplaas is, en 100 nieweesgelate kinders wat as steekproef uit twee openbare skole in Accra geneem is. Die kwantitatiewe data is ontleed met gebruikmaking van die t-toets, die chi-kwadraattoets, Pearson-produkmomentkorrelasieontledings, asook eenrigting-variansie- (VARO) en regressieontledings. Die kwalitatiewe data is aan die hand van inhouds- en tematiese ontledings geanaliseer. Volgens die resultate toon weesgelate kinders meer angssimptome as nieweesgelate kinders, terwyl beide groepe kinders met hoë vlakke van depressiewe simptome presenteer. Die oorheersende daaglikse stressors by beide groepe kinders is probleme by die skool, asook verhoudingsprobleme met die portuurgroep en sorggewers. Wat die weesgelate kinders betref, word verhoudingsprobleme met die portuurgroep egter as die mees algemene probleme aangevoer, terwyl nieweesgelate kinders verhoudingsprobleme met sorggewers aandui. Afgesien van die verhoogde emosionele nood, toon weesgelate kinders hoë vlakke van selfbedrewendheid en veerkrag, asook sterker persepsies van beskikbare bystand deur vriende, as wat die geval is by nieweesgelate kinders. Nieweesgelate kinders neem beduidend sterker bystand van families waar as wat die geval is by weesgelate kinders. Regressieontledings dui ook aan dat angs en bystandsoekende behartigingsgedrag by weesgelate kinders as beduidende voorspellers van lewensgehalte presenteer, terwyl depressie as ’n beduidende voorspeller van lewensgehalte by nieweesgelate kinders presenteer. Selfbedrewendheid presenteer as ’n beduidende positiewe voorspeller van veerkrag by weesgelate kinders, terwyl selfbedrewendheid en waargenome sosiale bystand as beduidende positiewe voorspellers vir veerkrag, by nieweesgelate kinders presenteer. Volgens die resultate van die tematiese ontledings van opvolgonderhoude met geselekteerde weeskinders, ontlok weeshuisplasing beide negatiewe en positiewe ervarings. Weeshuise skep struktuur, koestering, ’n veilige tuisomgewing en kanale vir positiewe portuurgroepverhoudings, en gevolglik ’n gevoel van samehorigheid, ofskoon hierdie instansies ook met finansiële beperkings en verhoudingsprobleme met portuurgroepe en versorgers verbind word. Verder blyk dit dat die Christengeloof-oriëntasie van die weesgelate kinders die welstand van die weeskinders bevorder. Die aangebode studie lewer bewys dat sowel die weesgelate as die nieweesgelate kinders kwesbaar is vir psigologiese nood. Gevolglik word intervensies vir beide groepe kinders aangedui. Die studie toon verder dat weeshuise ’n toevlugsoord en versorgingsplek bied vir weeskinders wat nie ouerlike sorg ontvang nie, en dat dit as ’n lewensvatbare vorm van weeskindsorg in Ghana beskou kan word.

Abstract:

Having grown up abroad, the topic of architectural mediation has often made me pause. The world abounds with differences, and with todayâ s globalization, many of us are being faced with cultural, social, and a multitude of physical differences/conditions. This thesis seeks to explore the role of architecture as a mediator and seeks designs that transition successfully between differing entities. The project is an orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. The program is comprised of young orphans and the project explores how the structure that they occupy can effectively accommodate their specific needs. Challenges which need to be mediated include consideration of two scales, one for the child under the age of 6, and the other for the caretaker who has adult proportions. The building also will need to reconcile cultural stigmatization and attitudes towards orphans while also providing a safe environment. And lastly, the specific social needs of the orphan need to be tended to. The design and experience within the spaces will need to convey feelings of security, affections, and hope.

Abstract:

The thesis outlines the development of three children’s residential institutions on the site of 200 Victoria Street, Ballarat East: the Ballarat District Orphan Asylum (1866-1909), the Ballarat Orphanage (1909-1968), and the Ballarat Children’s Home (1968-1983). These institutions are the historical precursors to the contemporary community service organisation now known as Child and Family Services Ballarat, or simply Cafs. The thesis focuses particularly on the shifting cultures of these institutions, to identify waves of change, surging and receding to form long patterns of alternating reform and repose. Established ways of operating overlapped with new and developing ideas, to create a dynamic environment constantly negotiating its relationships with government, communities and of course the families and children who came to rely on them. As a result, when transformative change occurred, it was difficult for leaders and policy-makers to recognise it as such at the time, as it was often experienced more as crisis and response. This provides a useful set of historical examples for current leadership and practitioners to learn from. Most critically, however, it locates the thousands of children who were institutionalised - eating, sleeping, playing, learning and working – as central to the narrative formation of identity for the historic institutions themselves, the contemporary organisation they have become, and the communities of Ballarat and beyond. Children were sent to these institutions from all over Victoria and Australia and made their homes in many different places when they left. Nevertheless, the stories and lives of the children from these institutions and the adults they have become are a key part of contemporary collective identity. The institutions are remembered with complex and contradictory mixtures of regret, loss, trauma and fondness, reflecting the mixed legacies that these institutions have left in contemporary Ballarat and beyond.

Abstract:

This is a dissertation about the Halle method, or the visual pedagogies of the Pietist Orphanage as they were developed in the German university town of Halle from 1695 until 1730. A “Pietist” was someone who was affiliated with an evangelical reform movement first initiated by Philipp Jakob Spener in the 1670s. A long and deeply entrenched historiographical tradition has portrayed the Halle proponents of this movement—especially their leader August Hermann Francke—as zealous, yet practical, Lutheran reformers who were forced to directly confront the ideals of early Enlightenment in conjunction with the state-building mandate of Brandenburg-Prussia. This has led to a persistent tendency to see Halle Pietists as “others” who cultivated their collective identity in opposition to so-called Enlightenment intellectuals, like Christian Wolff, at the same time as they exerted a marked influence on these same persons. As a result of this dichotomous portrayal over the years, the impact of the Halle method on educational reform, and on the meanings eighteenth-century Europeans attached to philanthropy more generally, has been misunderstood. I argue that the Pietist Orphanage holds the key to remedying several problems that have impeded our ability to understand the significance of Pietist pedagogy and philanthropy. This was a site specifically designed to introduce children to the conciliatory knowledge-making strategies of the first Berlin Academy of Science members and their associates. These strategies championed the status of the heart as an assimilatory juncture point and were refined in the schools of the Pietist Orphanage, which itself functioned as a visual showplace that viewers could observe in order to edify and improve themselves. It was the material expression of Halle Pietists’ commitment to a “third way” and marked their attempt to assimilate experience and cognition, theology and philosophy, absolutism and voluntarism. The dissertation examines several personalities who had a direct bearing on this conciliatory project: namely E. W. von Tschirnhaus, Johann Christoph Sturm, Leonhard Christoph Sturm, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and Christian Wolff. It also examines how the method was applied in the Halle Orphanage schools and extended elsewhere.

This paper explores comparatively the voices of the orphaned adolescents living in an orphanage and foster homes. Currently the emphasis is on children's rights; it is believed that children have rights to have their opinions heard, to refuse a demand, to voice their dissatisfaction and, in the case of orphans, to question the reasons for their status. This study is qualitative in nature and utilises the discourse analysis approach (analogue and dialogical method). A sample of ten orphaned adolescents (OAs) was randomly selected in an informal settlement in Inanda. Semi-structured interviews and diaries were used to collect data. Critical consciousness is explored in addressing silences using the adolescents' lenses as a platform for meaning-making. Through in-depth interpretation of their problems, self-awareness of the OAs was also attained, which is best for a person to develop and thrive (or not) despite challenges.

Abstract:

When Frank Prochaska first published his studies on philanthropy, he provided the most in-depth scholarship to date. But this research is now over 20 years old and is ready for review. It is also a purely historical analysis, with little archaeological content. This research seeks to enhance Prochaska's findings, using the archaeological record to evaluate, augment and further develop his findings. A complex web of personal and societal motivations interweave through individual philanthropic activity. Most research to date ignores this interconnectedness, or relegates it to subordinate status, producing a simplistic model. This research seeks to explore the relationship between personal impulse and societal pressure, investigating the affiliation between the two in diverse case studies, both UK and international. This is accomplished through archaeological methodology, and the exploration of material culture. The model proposed in this research provides a recognition of the complexity of personal and communal action. It draws heavily on a theoretical perspective that includes Bourdieu and Giddens. It places these theoretical perspectives within a practical and appropriate framework, to provide a robust analysis of change through philanthropic action. As such it complements much of the research of Prochaska, whilst providing a modern interpretation.

Abstract:

In the developing world, child care institutions often involve more complexity than is typically reflected by the word “orphanage.” In many instances, children do not fit the widespread definition of an orphan as one with with deceased parents. Oftentimes, institutions play a partial role in a child’s development by contributing towards childcare in collaboration with a relative, an ill parent, or nearby kin. In South Africa, the need and complexity surrounding the role of child care institutions is further amplified by the region’s longstanding HIV/AIDS epidemic. Through a primarily ethnographic study, I sought to understand and relay the nuances of a child care center in Hillbrow, an urban neighborhood in central Johannesburg known for its crime and gang proliferation. Through the developmental stages of intake and early childhood, middle childhood, and late adolesence and outward transition, I explored how children overcome traumatic pasts with the help of the center, how the center struggles with the material burdens of providing to children with a wide array of needs, and how the process of transitioning into adulthood is handled by the children and their caretakers. In conclusion, I explore the non-negotiable elements of the center’s approach to child care and make further recommendations for other institutions in a similar context as well as future academic research.

Станом на 2019 р. в статистиці України залишається категорія дітей, які за певних обставин залишаються пοза сімейним вихοванням, позбавлені батьківської опіки. Причин тοму безліч, і не οбοв’язкοвο це смерть батьків. Серед дітей, які перебувають на οбліку в οрганах οпіки та піклування, лише десяту частину станοвлять біοлοгічні сирοти, решта – це діти, які стають сирοтами при живих батьках, так звані сοціальні сирοти. Для пoдoлання сирітства активно впрoваджені державні прoграми сімейнoгo вихoвання дітей-сиріт. Дo сімейних фoрм вихoвання в Україні віднoсяться: прийoмна сім'я, oпікунствo, усинoвлення, дитячий будинoк сімейнoгo типу тощо. У розділі 1 роботи досліджуються проблеми сирітства в українському суспільстві, проілюстровано міжнародний досвід реалізації технологій сімейного влаштування та виховання дітей-сиріт та дітей, позбавлених батьківського піклування, розкрито осοбливοсті сοціальнο-психοлοгічнοї адаптації дитини-сирοти дο життя у прийοмній сім'ї та у дитячому будинку сімейного типу. В другому розділі роботи проведено емпіричне дослідження соціальнопсихологічних труднощів та особливостей взаємодії батьків і дітей у прийомній сім’ї та дитячому будинку сімейного типу. Розділ 3 роботи присвячено рекoмендаціям щoдo пoдoлання сoціальнoпсихoлoгічних труднoщів в рoзвитку прийoмних сімей та дитячих будинків сімейнoгo типу в Україні.

As of 2019, the statistics of Ukraine remain the category of children who, in certain circumstances, remain beyond family education, deprived of parental care. There are many reasons for this, and it is not due to the death of the parents. Among children in care and care, only a tenth is biological orphans, the rest are children who become orphans with living parents, the so-called social orphans. To overcome orphanage, state programs for family education of orphans have been actively implemented. Family education forms in Ukraine include: foster care, guardianship, adoption, family-type orphanage, etc. The first ection explores the problems of orphanage in Ukrainian society, illustrates the international experience of implementing technologies of family placement and orphanage and children deprived of parental care, reveals the peculiarities of the social-psycho-logical adaptation of the child's orphan's home life family type. In the second section of the paper, an empirical study of the sociopsychological difficulties and peculiarities of parent-child interaction in the foster home and family-type orphanage is conducted. In the third section, we hope for recommendations for overcoming social and psychological difficulties in the development of foster families and orphanages in Ukraine. The main provisions of the work were discussed at the VIII International Scientific Conference of Students, Graduate Students and Young Scientists "Innovative Development of Information Society: Economic, Administrative, Legal and Socio-Cultural Aspects" December 17, 2019, Chernihiv. The scientific novelty of the research is to develop recommendations for overcoming social and psychological difficulties in the development of foster families and family-type orphanages in Ukraine

Abstract:

Background: Today, the tourism sector is one of the economically fastest growing sectors in the world. Volunteer travel is a type of service that is gaining in popularity and a number of tour operators organize these trips. Few aid agencies engaged in volunteer activities and therefore the interest in volunteer travel is caught by tour operators. These tourists travel in small groups and interact with locals. Today fifty million children in Africa are orphaned and Africans struggling with the care of these children by founding orphanages. Research questions: What does volunteers contribute with during their stay at orpahanges? What view does volunteers and orphanages have on volunteer tourism? Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the positive and the negative effects that volunteer tourism contributes to orphanages. Method: The study is based on a qualitative approach with semi-and unstructured interviews, observations, and email interviews. The study is based on a constructionist approach and is conducted at three orphanages in northern Tanzania. Conclusions: Volunteer tourism contributes with both positive and negative effects on the orphanage. Exemples of negative effects include the emotions that arise in children and staff when volunteers go home, the independent situation that arises because of the fact that the orphanages live off donations, poor self-esteem that accurs when children see that volunteers have it better comparing to themselves, the volunteers self fulfillment leads to less involvement in the orphanage during their visit and also the volunteers lifestyles can create confusion for the children. Positively with volunteer tourism is such that volunteers contribute to increased communication, the visit will lead to happiness and increased activity, gifts and money that contribute to better living standards and also increased knowledge to the children and staff.

Abstract:

This study raises the issue of the trafficking of children in favor of voluntourism and orphanage tourism. The phenomenon of tourists who engage in volunteer work during a holiday has increased into a considerable form of tourism and turned in to a profitable business. This thesis is questioning what factors triggers children to be trafficked and sexual exploited within the phenomenon of orphanage tourism and voluntourism. To conclusion of this thesis will question how the phenomenon affects the children. This study is an abductive, qualitative desk-study with a thematic text analysis. The analysis is based on Braun and Clarke’s (2006) six step model where themes are constructed from the findings. The elements that the children within this phenomenon are affected by were categorized into these themes. The themes were afterwards analyzed individually in order to create a holistic picture of how they impact children. The empirical data are all from secondary and tertiary sources out of both academia and media. The findings have been analyzed with the theoretical framework of Johan Galtung and his definition of presence of violence. Galtung’s concept of structural violence has been applied to analyze what drives children to be trafficked- and sexually exploited in connection to orphanage tourism, as well as how this effected the children. The thesis suggests that the main factor, which fuels children to be trafficked in this context, is the demand for accessible children. Orphanage tourism has become a profitable business and a loophole for the corrupt to gain money on socially vulnerable families. This by presenting them to tourist who pay money in good faith and dedicate time from their vacation in belief that they are doing good. The thesis addresses how structural violence is present and how it contributes to the phenomenon of orphanage tourism to keep operating by trafficking children in favor of it. It is also shown that psychological stress within various dimensions, which the children are exposed to, lower their actual realization from the potential. The exploitation they live under leaves the children in a disempowered position, without control of their social condition, which is argued to make a significant difference between their potential life expectancy and actual life expectancy.

Abstract:

This dissertation was designed using a qualitative research mode of inquiry that utilized a mixed methodology approach. This dissertation was an ethnographic narrative study tracking eight young women who were “aging out” or forced to leave their orphanage in Peru, where most of them had spent a majority of their lives. The study examined the way in which a collaborative art community could support the participants as they narrated their lives over a 16-month period of time through photojournaling and social media outlets.

This study relied upon interviews, on-site observations, personal journaling, and photographing, in addition to an overall thematic analysis of the output of each of the eight participants and two nuns. From these data, six key themes emerged concerning the outcomes of each young girl’s continuing life at the Hogar and their endeavors outside of the orphanage. The focal points of this study were community building via art making and building of personal aesthetic, community engagement, reflection on self-identity, cross-cultural art education, and shared experience via photo-art narratives and social media.

This research also examined the role of collaborative art experiences in helping these young women structure new identities and form collaborations with their peers designed to sustain them into their future lives. This dissertation studied not only the formation of singular identities but how these functioned within a collaborative identity that supported the young participants as they moved out of their orphanage and forward into the outside world.

Goal of the Study: to determine the specifics of socialization processes observed in the 13-18-year-old orphan children who live in foster homes or with foster parents. Objectives of the Study: 1. To determine the specifics of social adaptation processes observed in the orphans who live in foster homes or with foster parents in the year 2006 and 2008. 2. To emphasize the specifics of the inner state observed in the orphans who live in foster homes or with foster parents in the year 2006 and 2008. 3.

It was determined the respondents who live in foster homes and those who stay with foster parents differ in terms of social adaptation. The study suggested that the majority of the orphans living in foster homes look for help among their friends in case of need (50% in 2006; 40% in 2008), whereas the orphans who stay with foster parents usually ask their relatives for help (41% in 2006; 43% in 2008). It was noticed that in 2006, 25% of the orphans living in the foster home approached the teachers of the institution when they needed help, however, in 2008 the number of such children dropped down to 7% (p <0.05). It turned out that during 2006, 25% of the respondents who lived in foster homes were offended by the familiar people, 19% were offended by elder people and 13% of the respondents experienced offence from...

Abstract:

This study explores the construction of the orphanage child and the helper in the context of voluntourism, orphanage tourism, support and establishment of orphanages. Since residential care is rarely put forward as a “good solution” for children without parental care in Sweden or other Western countries, the purpose of this study is to understand how orphanages for children from the South are legitimised as a solution in narratives about the helpers and the orphans. Through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) I have studied the widespread narrative about the helper and the orphan and its relation to larger global development strands, such as neo-liberal discourses, post-colonial discourses and globalization discourses. The study found that the narratives about the helper and the orphanage child are constructed in a way that reinforces stereotypes about the active, caring helper from the global North and the passive and needy yet happy orphanage child from the South. The underlying assumption in the testimonials and stories about the helper is that there are no other options and that the orphanage placement is in the best interest of the child

Abstract:

Titel: Barns upplevelser av vad som främjar hälsa och välmående när de bor på barnhem. Bakgrund: Över 153 miljoner barn beräknas vara föräldralös utifrån en rad olika orsaker så som missbruk, krig och sjukdom. Många av dessa barn drabbas av ohälsa, både psykiskt, fysiskt och emotionellt då deras grundläggande behov blivit åsidosatta. Detta kan leda till negativa konsekvenser i vuxenlivet dock finns det även stärkande och skyddande aspekter av att komma till barnhem för dessa barn. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa barns upplevelser av vad som kan främja hälsa och välmående i situationen att bo på barnhem. Metod: I denna studie har åtta artiklar med kvalitativ ansats valt ut. Dessa har barnens perspektiv i fokus. Artiklarna har kvalitétsgranskats, analyserats och slutligen sammanställts. Resultat: När barnen kom till barnhemmet beskriver det att de fick sina grundläggande behov tillgodosedda, såsom husrum, mat, utbildningen och sjukvård. Emotionella behov blev även tillgodosedda genom stabila relationer med personal och vänner. I majoriteten av studierna uttrycker barnen vikten av att bli älskad och respekterad; att känna sig önskad och accepterad; känna att någon bryr sig och att känna en samhörighet. Konklusion: Att få de grundläggande behov tillgodosedda var viktigt för att öka tryggheten. Andra betydelsefulla aspekter var att ha stabila relationer till vuxna och vänner samt tillgång till utbildning.

Abstract:

In Mexico there are officially 1.8 million orphaned children, without counting non-orphaned children deprived of family, who also need care; of these, only 657,000 are living in 703 orphanages. Mexico's government invests less than 2% of its budget toward protection of children. There is a lack of substantive research or official assessment of orphanages. According to the scant research found, the children's human rights most frequently violated in Mexican orphanages are the rights to nutrition and health care, to be protected from further victimization, to free expression and participation, and to not be exploited. This study was carried out through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with the manager and five staff members of a respected orphanage in Mexico. It aimed to determine how they attempt to fulfill the aforementioned rights, and how their work relates to six prerequisites for efficient group-care formulated by Wolins after his vast research on the matter. Results indicate that the staff members of this orphanage view their work as spirituality in action, becoming the children's family, caring for their health through special vegetarian nutrition. They teach the children that they are the masters of their own lives and happiness, and not to see themselves as victims. From results I also suggest well supervised facilities, coupling between staff and professionals to screen children's health; a vegetarian diet based on scientific research; children's participation in rules, learning about, from and for their human rights and the idea of children being masters of their life and happiness.

Abstract:

In this qualitative study I investigated the institutional experiences of former female child migrants who were placed in the care of the Sisters of Mercy in St Joseph’s Catholic Orphanage, Subiaco, Western Australia. My study was guided by the theoretical orientations of Symbolic Interaction and Constructivism. Data were gathered through a series of individual and group interviews with the Female Child Migrants, who are now in their seventies and had spent at least three years in the orphanage between the years 1947 and 1955. Documents were also obtained from the archives of the Catholic Church, the Sisters of Mercy and the National Archives. Documents, photos and artefacts were also accessed from private collections. Significant issues to arise from the study were those of identity, opportunity and social control. These issues were broadly examined in relation to the primary and reference groups in the children’s lives with a particular focus on the role the Sisters of Mercy had in the children’s welfare. A limitation of the research is that some records pertaining to the orphanage during this period have been lost or destroyed and the passing of sixty years since the Female Child Migrants lived at the orphanage has meant that some events and practices may have been forgotten, overlooked or reframed by respondents. One of the most important findings was that the Orphanage’s institutional practices with its underpinning of religious teachings, ensured a lack of suitable social experiences and interactions. This shaped the way the participants viewed the world; which in turn impacted upon their life choices. The findings suggest that access to a wide variety of social situations is a necessary feature in a child’s socialisation and the accumulation of necessary social skills. The impact of socialisation on educational outcomes of the children in institutions such as orphanages was evident in the data. This investigation goes some way to filling the gap in the knowledge of the experiences of female child migrants who were sent here under the British Child Migration Scheme and it shines a light on a very small part of Western Australia’s social history.

Resumo: A epidemia da AIDS atinge crianças e adolescentes, demandando da sociedade a busca de respostas para seu cuidado, educação e saúde. Inúmeras ações, instituições e discursos começaram a emergir em nossa cultura, produzindo ¿verdades¿ sobre esta população. Espelhos d¿AIDS - infâncias e adolescências nas tessituras da AIDS é uma tese de doutorado cujo objetivo consiste em problematizar discursos sobre infância, adolescência e AIDS, em especial os discursos sobre casas de apoio, sexualidade e revelação do diagnóstico. O referencial teórico utilizado foram a obra de Michael Foucault, autores que trabalham a partir de seu referencial e a produção dos estudos culturais. As problematizações dos discursos foram feitas a partir de três fontes: a) matérias de jornais; b) matérias da Revista Saber Viver; c) experiência na área (como profissional e ativista). Os resultados do trabalho indicam que, nas práticas discursivas e não discursivas concernentes aos temas casas de apoio, sexualidade e revelação do diagnóstico emergem modos de conceber a infância, a adolescência e a AIDS que vão inventando as crianças e adolescentes vivendo com HIV AIDS. E que estas crianças e adolescentes passam a narrar-se, a construir uma experiência de si mesmos através destes dispositivos que produzem subjetividades, que funcionam como uma tecnologia do eu. As discussões deste estudo sinalizam para a necessidade de reflexão e revisão das práticas nesta área
Abstract: The AIDS epidemic affects children and adolescents, demanding that society look for answers concerning their care, education and health. Countless actions, institutions and discourses have emerged in our culture, producing different types of truth about these groups of people. Mirrors of AIDS - childhood and adolescence on the entangle of AIDS is a doctorate thesis and its goal is to motivate discussion on childhood, adolescence and AIDS, in special lectures about supporting houses, sexuality and diagnosis results. The theoretical reference used is from the work of Michael Foucault, authors who also work from or with his work and in the production of cultural studies. The discussion lectures were done from three sources: 1) newspapers articles; 2) articles from Saber Viver magazine; 3) field experience (as a professional and an activist). The conception and presentation of this thesis is that in practical discussions or not, concerning to the issue of supporting houses, sexuality, and diagnosis results, appear ways to conceive childhood, adolescence and AIDS that are creating children and teenagers living with HIV AIDS. These children and teenagers begin to tell and to build an experience of themselves through these tools that produce subjectivities, and function as a technology of the self. The discussions of this study show signs to the necessity of reflection and a review on the practices on this field

This research is research object to social assistance in the St. Joseph Orphanage in the city of Goiás in the period between 1923 and 1969. The theme relates to one of the biggest problems of contemporary society, children in situations of abandonment. After all, despite the law to guarantee the rights and science warn of the damage, why is there such a large number of children in shelters? The hypothesis is that even with advances in relation to social assistance through the implementation of state policies, religious institutions played a key role in the protection of children and adolescents in poverty and abandonment situation. This work analyzes the process of institutional change and organizational structure occurred in social assistance in Brazil focusing mainly on the state's role. Analyses of North (1991), Streeck and Thelen (2005), Hall and Thelen (2009), Mahoney and Thelen (2010) provide a historical approach and an analytical framework to explain how institutions and institutional changes affected social assistance. The first objective is to know the process of institutional change chapter in the macro structural plan highlighting the factors and central actors that precipitate change, social assistance in the city of Goiás; In the second chapter, we seek to contextualize a brief story about the poor children in Brazil, and to characterize the different models used under the Brazilian social assistance; Then, the intention is to understand and analyze the structure and dynamics of assistance in St. Joseph Orphanage. Methodologically, this is a theoretical and empirical research based on bibliographical and documentary research.

Afinal, apesar de a Lei garantir os direitos e a ciência alertar quanto aos danos, por que existe um número tão grande de crianças nos abrigos? A hipótese é que mesmo com os avanços em relação à assistência social por meio da implementação de políticas públicas estatais, as instituições religiosas desempenharam um papel primordial para o amparo das crianças e adolescentes em situação de pobreza e abandono. Assim, este trabalho analisa o processo de mudança institucional e estruturação organizacional ocorrido na assistência social no Brasil tendo como foco principal o papel do Estado. As análises de North (1991), Streeck e Thelen (2005), Hall e Thelen (2009), Mahoney e Thelen (2010) conferem uma abordagem histórica e um marco analítico para explicar como as instituições e as mudanças institucionais afetaram a assistência social.

Abstract:

Detta är en kvalitativ studie vars syfte är att synliggöra barns uppfostran på ett barnhem i Ghana ur ett utomkulturellt perspektiv. Studien tar ansats i globaliserings- och socialiseringsbegrepp. Den fysiska disciplineringen är en del av socialiseringsprocessen i Ghana, vilket strider mot Barnkonventionen. I denna studie uppmärksammas de motsättningar som kan uppkomma när Barnkonventionen ska implementeras i ett utvecklingsland samt den omedvetenhet som finns kring barns rättigheter. Genom kvalitativ forskning får ni ta del av en volontärs och det inhemska folkets perspektiv på barnuppfostran på ett barnhem i Ghana.
This is a qualitative study whose aim is to highlight the children's upbringing in an orphanage in Ghana from a different cultural perspective. The study’s approach is based on globalization and socialization theories. The physical disciplining is part of the socialization process in Ghana, which is contrary to the CRC. This study highlights the contradictions that might arise from the CRC when implemented in a non-Western country and the unconsciousness of childrens rights in a country as Ghana. Through interviews and observations, you will benefit from both my, the volunteer, and the indigenous people's perspective on raising children in an orphanage in Ghana.

Theoretical analysis of structure of psychosocial characteristics and salutogenesis as the methodology of coping with difficulties and the analysis of the inner harmony and its component – difficulties coping strategies of young people with dysfunction of intelligence from orphanages and foster homes for children is presented in this Thesis. The hypothesis claims that the choice of difficulties coping strategies depends on personal characteristics of young people and the social environment. When coping with difficulties the disabled young people use fewer strategies requiring adaptation abilities. The research was conducted using the methods of interview and questionnaire. The aim of the research – to study the ways the young people with the dysfunction of intelligence from orphanages and foster homes for children cope with difficulties and the coping strategies they use. The analysis of the content of nonstandard material (the data were categorized according to semantic relations) and statistic data analysis (descriptive analysis of averages, standard deviations, factorial analysis) were done. 7 young people with the dysfunction of intelligence and 110 employees working in the boarding-school, guardians and members of their families (99, 8 and 3 respondents respectively) participated in the research.

Abstract:

Tidigare forskning har visat att mer än hälften av alla barn som utsatts för risk under uppväxten inte utvecklar allvarliga psykiska problem. Uppväxt på barnhem kan anses vara en sådan risk då det typiska samspelet mellan barn och vuxna saknas. För att förstå vad det är som gör att barn på barnhem ändå kan växa upp och få en tillfredsställande vardag tar denna studie sin utgångspunkt i begreppet resiliens. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka möjligheter och begränsningar det finns för utveckling av resiliens på ett barnhem i Tanzania. Studien har en kvalitativ metod med mikroetnografisk ansats. Data har samlats in genom deltagande observationer som kompletterats med semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre informanter från personalen på barnhemmet. Studiens resultat beskriver barnhemmet som en institution där rutiner och en tydlig struktur var en viktig del av vardagen. Kristendomen hade en central roll på barnhemmet och i barnens uppfostran. Resultaten visar att aga och disciplinering användes i uppfostrande syfte. Vidare synliggjordes ambitionen att barnen skulle bli självständiga och de äldre barnen lärde sig att ta hand om de yngre. Betydelsen av kärlek lyftes fram i många sammanhang och barnens känsla av att tillhöra en familj ansågs vara betydelsefull. Personalen arbetade för att uppväxten på barnhemmet skulle bli så lik uppväxt i en biologisk familj som möjligt. I resultatet framkom även hur barnens tid med vuxna var begränsad. Slutligen redogjordes för betydelsen av de personliga egenskaper som barnen bär med sig från sina biologiska familjer. Med begreppet resiliens som teoretisk utgångspunkt blev slutsatserna att barnhemmet har potential att utgöra en god grund för utveckling av resiliens. Samtidigt som en begränsning för utvecklingen av resiliens kan vara den brist på tid med vuxna som framkommer i resultatet. Den här studien lyfter både faktorer inom den sociala kulturen och sociala relationer som kan underlätta och försvåra utvecklingen av resiliens. Hur dessa faktorer påverkar resiliens skiljer sig mellan individer vilket kan försvåra att nå en generell slutsats.

Full text

Abstract:

The publications in this thesis discuss recurring issues in the historical context of out-of-home Care (OOHC). They were written for various audiences but are arranged not by date of publication but thematically so as to present a coherent argument about the recovery of voice and agency by those who experienced OOHC. The thesis begins with an Overview which discusses autoethnographic and multi-layered approaches to history and shows how subject matter helps determine the choice of methodology and sources and, in turn, how methodologies influence the selection of sources and shape content. Authorities in Australia have a long history of removing children from their families when they are deemed to be neglected or ‘in moral danger’. Out of the public gaze, these children were often rendered silent, their voices simply unheard or deliberately supressed by the exercise of total institutional power. This thesis analyses how children were marginalised, cast as ‘the other’, and framed as deserving no better than they got. In the aftermath of a series of inquiries into institutional child maltreatment—some of which came about as a result of survivor advocacy and relied heavily on direct testimony—we now better understand children’s institutional experiences. In this changing environment, advocacy groups are effectively challenging the received accounts of historical Care. Their challenge has gained impetus from the opening up of records through rights legislation, especially access to personal case files. Large numbers of Care leavers have found their files inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading, and this discovery has stimulated many to produce compelling counter-narratives of the lived experiences of their childhood, and the living experiences that endure. The thesis concludes with an extended analytical commentary reflecting new interpretations of emerging histories, assessing changes in the status of Care leavers, and identifying directions warranting further development in OOHC.

The purpose of this constructivist research study was to examine the idea of returning to the orphanage system, as a placement option for children who have been removed from their homes. The authors felt that this was especially important since lawmakers have been discussing this option as an answer to the question of welfare reform, and further felt that decisions such as these should not be made without the input of professionals in the social work field.

Uma InstituiÃÃo idealizada pelo Padre CÃcero RomÃo Batista, com o propÃsito de recolhimento e educaÃÃo para meninas ÃrfÃs pobres ou âdesvalidasâ. A instituiÃÃo de inÃcio foi coordenada pelas Beatas do Juazeiro no ano de 1916 a 1935, quando assumem as Filhas de Santa Teresa de Jesus permanecendo atÃ os dias atuais, completando (100) cem anos de existÃncia. Buscamos problematizar os cem anos da sua existÃncia, dando Ãnfase Ãs permanÃncias e rupturas, no seu processo histÃrico educacional durante esse perÃodo. Para tanto, elencamos as categorias: HistÃria de instituiÃÃes educacionais; HistÃria da mulher na aÃÃo educacional; HistÃria da infÃncia pobre ou âdesvalidaâ. A metodologia se deu atravÃs da pesquisa qualitativa, apoiada em estudos bibliogrÃficos, documental e na HistÃria Oral. Utilizou-se da entrevista nÃo estruturada, com agentes participantes do projeto incluindo os sujeitos da atualidade. AtravÃs dos estudos e das entrevistas realizadas, percebemos algumas rupturas e permanÃncias, tanto no processo estrutural como nas aÃÃes desenvolvidas pelos seus administradores. Das rupturas, destacamos trÃs momentos: a mudanÃa das Beatas em 1935 para as Filhas de Santa Teresa de Jesus; a instalaÃÃo de uma escola de ensino primÃrio em uma sala do Orfanato, tendo as religiosas que se adequar a uma nova metodologia educacional; quando a escola foi fechada, passando a instituiÃÃo de internato para externato, se constituindo em uma instituiÃÃo filantrÃpica de fins assistencialistas, atendendo ambos os sexos. Durante esse processo pode-se perceber mudanÃas, tambÃm no processo educacional, de acordo com as transformaÃÃes sociais. Percebemos que, ainda habita na instituiÃÃo aspectos da sua idealizaÃÃo, a instituiÃÃo continua incidindo sobre o processo educacional, com projetos voltados para a populaÃÃo carente, desde a sua idealizaÃÃo atÃ os dias atuais, o que caracterizamos como permanÃncias histÃricas, que resistiram por um sÃculo.
ABSTRACT The present study consists of the investigation of the educational historical memory of the Jesus Maria Jose Orphanage, located in the city of Juazeiro do Norte, CE, where we seek to locate the transformations imposed by time, in relation to educational practices, its structure and functioning, In a comparative way with the socially surrounding ideas of welcoming poor or helpless childhood, nationally and internationally, in the period from 1916 to 2016. An institution designed by Father CÃcero RomÃo Batista, with the purpose of gathering and educating Poor or "helpless" orphan girls. The initiating institution was coordinated by the Beatas of Juazeiro from 1916 to 1935, when they assumed the Daughters of St. Teresa of Jesus, remaining until the present day, completing (100) one hundred years of existence. We seek to problematize the hundred years of its existence, emphasizing the permanences and ruptures, in its historical educational process during this period. For this, we list the categories History of educational institutions, History of women in educational action, History of poor or "helpless" childhood. The methodology was based on qualitative research, supported by bibliographic, documentary and oral history studies. It was used the unstructured interview, with agents participating in the project including the subjects of the present time. Through the studies and the interviews carried out, we perceive some ruptures and permanences, both in the structural process and in the actions developed by its administrators. Of the ruptures, we emphasize three moments: The change of the Beatas in 1935 for the Daughters of Santa Teresa de Jesus; The installation of a Primary School in a room of the Orphanage, with the sisters having to adapt to a new educational methodology; When the school was closed, becoming the boarding school institution, becoming a philanthropic institution for welfare purposes, serving both sexes. During this process one can perceive changes, also in the educational process, according to the social transformations. We realize that the institution still has aspects of its idealization; the institution continues to focus on the educational process, with projects focused on the needy population, from its idealization to the present day, which we characterize as historical permanences that have resisted for a century.

Abstract:

Darbe atlikta teorinė globos namuose augančių ugdytinių asmens savivertės formavimo(si) ir ugdomojo dailės terapijos užsiėmimų poveikio analizė. Atliktas Dailės terapijos ugdomųjų užsiėmimų tyrimas, kurio tikslas – atskleisti vaikų globos namų auklėtinių savivertės kitimą per dailės terapijos užsiėmimus. Tyrimui atlikti pasirinktas kokybinis tyrimo metodas – atvejo analizė, jo instrumentai – interviu, stebėjimas, piešinių analizė. Empirinėje dalyje nagrinėjami vaikų globos namų auklėtinių savivertės pokyčiai DT užsiėmimų įtakoje analizuojant pirmame ir paskutiniame kiekvieno vaiko piešinyje pavaizduotus simbolius. Išanalizuoti vaikų atvejai atskleidė neigiamą savivertę, negalėjimą apibūdinti savęs žodžiais. Iš piešinių simbolių galima numanyti, kad tai ilgalaikių nesėkmių, aplinkinių neigiamų reakcijų, pasmerkimo ir atstūmimo pasekmė. Lyginant pirmąjį ir paskutinįjį DT užsiėmimų metu sukurtus piešinius, atsiskleidžia neigiama savivertė, noras ignoruoti save DT užsiėmimų pradžioje, o jų eigoje ir pabaigoje pastebimi pokyčiai nuo visiško savęs ignoravimo iki pradėjimo save priimti, nuo vaizdavimo savęs drambliu iki vaizdavimo karalaite, nuo uždarumo iki noro bendrauti, nuo priešiškumo iki smalsumo ir entuziazmo.
The work discusses theoretical analysis of self–esteem formation of persons brought up at the Orphanage. The analysis of impact of educational art therapy is also taken into consideration. The research of Art Therapy lessons has been implemented. The aim of it was to disclose the change of self–esteem of youngsters from the Orphanage during the lessons of Art Therapy. Quality Research Method has been chosen. That is the analysis of a certain case. An interview, observation, the analysis of drawings has been chosen as instruments. The Empiric part analyses the changes of self–esteem of children from the Orphanage during the lessons of Art Therapy by analysing the symbols in the first and the last drawing of a child. The analysed cases of children showed a negative self–esteem. They were not able to describe themselves by words. The symbols of drawings may present that this is the result of long–term failures, negative reactions from surrounding people and repulse. In comparing the first and the last drawing from the lessons of Art Therapy a negative self– esteem is disclosed, a wish to ignore oneself in the beginning of Art Therapy lessons. The start of self–recognition was observed. The self–picturing from an elephant to a princess, from closing oneself to a wish of communication, from being against everything to curiosity and enthusiasm was also seen.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa analisou a proposta de assistência e educação da criança desvalida num asilo de recolhimento católico da cidade de Piracicaba, interior de São Paulo, em fins do século XIX e início do século XX. Existente até os dias atuais com o nome de Lar Escola do Coração de Maria, o Asilo de Nossa Mãe foi fundado em 1896 como uma instituição voltada para o recolhimento de meninas órfãs e desvalidas, tendo como objetivo assistir, educar, civilizar, moralizar e higienizar essas meninas, transformando-as, segundo seu regimento, em mães de famílias pobres. O trabalho procurou contribuir para a compreensão do processo de assistência à criança pobre, analisando, para tanto, as representações do lugar das crianças pobres na sociedade do período, as ações empreendidas, bem como o significado deste recolhimento em relação com as propostas de assistência presentes nos documentos do asilo. Examinando o processo de criação e atuação do Asilo de Nossa Mãe, esta dissertação se propõe a observar as ações dos sujeitos envolvidos no desenvolvimento das propostas assistenciais no município, bem como a produção de discursos acerca da assistência à criança pobre e os debates sobre a temática, no período. Assim, a pesquisa buscou analisar como se davam as relações entre as propostas de assistência e educação católica e aquelas de cunho liberal e laico, defendidas pelos republicanos, em paralelo com as iniciativas voltadas para a implantação da chamada escola moderna. Visando analisar as práticas de assistência e educação instituídas pelas Irmãs Franciscanas do Coração de Maria com vistas à formação das meninas, o trabalho tomou como fontes o primeiro regimento interno do asilo e seu estatuto, os periódicos da cidade, além de outros documentos da instituição e da cidade.
Abstract: This research analyzed the proposal of assistance and education of rejected children in an catholic orphanage in the city of Piracicaba, interior of São Paulo, in the end of the XIX century and beginning of the XX century. In existence to this day, with the name of the Lar Escola Coração de Maria, the Asilo de Nossa Mãe was founded in 1896 as an institution directed toward the gathering of orphaned and rejected children, with the objective of assisting, educating, civilizing, and teaching of values to these girls, transforming them, according to its regiment, into mothers of poor families. The research attempted to contribute to the understanding of the process of assistance of the rejected child, analyzing, for that reason, the representation of the poor child's place in society during that period o f time, the measures taken, as well as, the significance of this orphanage in relation to the proposals of assistence present in the documents at the orphanage. In examining the process of creation and the performance of the Asilo de Nossa Mãe, this dissertation has the objective to observe the act ions of all parties involved in the development of these proposals of assistance in the city, as well as the product ion of speeches concerning the assistance of poor children as well as debates about the theme. Thus, the research tried to analyze the relationship between these proposals of assistance and catholic education and those of liberal and nonreligious practices, defended by the republicans, paralleled with the initiatives of establishing what is called the "modern" school. Aiming to analyze the practices of assistance and education instituted by the Franciscan Sisters of the Heart of Mar y wit h the vision of shaping young girls, the work took as sources the first internal regulation of the orphanage and its statute and the local papers, aside from other documents from the institution and the city.

This dissertation has the aim of understanding the connection between social inclusion, the orphanage and curriculum, starting from the analysis of the discourse of teachers and employees involved with the education of children that live in orphanage and study at an Elementary School, located in the neighborhood of Ipiranga in the city of São Paulo. The critical discourse analysis was an analysis support to make possible the understanding of the curriculum of the referred school, because curriculum is considered along the several school times and spaces and the several actions and manifestations of the subjects that there interact. The hypothesis of this research was confirmed along the work, that the curriculum of public school whose some children live in orphanage, usually doesn´t consider entirely these children's needs. This way, as conclusion, it is considered necessary the structuring and application of a curriculum that contemplates critical and cultural focuses, that minimizes the ambivalences between sheltering and abandoning that permeate the discourses and practices of most of the teachers and researched employees. Such discourses reflect the contradictions between the students' needs and the dominant curricular organization
Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de discutir a relação entre inclusão social, abrigo e currículo a partir da análise do discurso dos professores e funcionários envolvidos com a educação de crianças que vivem em abrigos e que estudam em uma escola estadual de 1ª a 4ª série do Ensino Fundamental I, localizada no bairro do Ipiranga na cidade de São Paulo. A análise do discurso crítica foi um suporte de análise para viabilizar o entendimento do currículo da referida escola, visto que o currículo é considerado nos diversos tempos e espaços escolares e nas várias ações e manifestações dos sujeitos que aí interagem. Trabalhou-se com a hipótese, confirmada ao longo do trabalho, de que o currículo da escola pública que recebe crianças abrigadas não tem contemplado inteiramente as necessidades dessas crianças, de modo a realizar sua efetiva inclusão. Assim, conclui-se que se faz necessária a estruturação e efetivação de um currículo que adote enfoques críticos e culturais, de sorte a minimizar as ambivalências entre o abrigar e o desabrigar que permeiam os discursos e as práticas da maior parte dos professores e funcionários pesquisados. Discursos esses, cumpre salientar, que refletem as contradições entre as necessidades dos alunos e a organização curricular dominante

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to get a deeper understanding, from a Swedish context, of how you can do social work with vulnerable and orphaned children in a developing country such as Uganda. We have investigated this through the example WEBALE, an NGO working in a context where among other things HIV/AIDS, poverty and a defective social safety net have led to social problems affecting children. Further, we have also aimed at acquiring a deeper understanding of what it is that motivates the volunteers and the director to work with vulnerable children at WEBALE. In order to fulfil this aim, the research has the following two key questions: What is the motivation for the teacher volunteers and the manager to work with vulnerable children at WEBALE? How do the teacher volunteers perceive the social work with the children in everyday life at WEBALE and what experiences do they have from this? The study is a field study with a phenomenological and ethnological approach. We were present at and took part in the everyday life of the informants at the school and orphanage in Uganda for eight weeks. The investigation uses a qualitative method where four interviews and participant observations were carried out. The results are analyzed in connection with theories on social work defining preventions and interventions, where theories on risk- and protection factors and the salutogenetic theory on SOC have been used. The analysis is also connected to theories on social work with children from a developmental-ecological and attachment-theoretical perspective. The results show what it is that motivates the volunteers and manager to work as volunteers in this specific contest through personal accounts of their background. Our observation is that the motivation of the volunteers and the manager to work with orphaned and vulnerable children is closely connected to their own background and childhood. The biggest reason for this kind of a life choice seems to be a sense of coherence and the largest motivating factor is that the work they do feels meaningful. The results further highlight the social work that is carried out and how the volunteers perceive their work at WEBALE. The study shows that the volunteers (who mainly consist of teachers) carry out what can be called social work, according to the definitions of interventions and preventions within various fields, such as health, education, emotional and behavioural development, ability to take care of oneself, social behaviour, family and social relations, and identity.
