Integration and radicalization
Increasingly, the focus has been on the integration of migrants in Dutch society during the previous years. Special attention has been given to migrant families (parenting support) and young children (Dutch language programmes in pre-school and primary school). Campaigns on anti-discrimination have also been funded.
The aim of the governmental policy called ‘Diversity in youth policy’ is to develop a youth policy in which general youth services and parental support reaches migrant children and their parents as well as all other families. The slogan of the programme is ‘all opportunities for all children’. This approach is directed at pointing out possible problems in upbringing and growing up at an early stage. It is also aimed at getting better knowledge of the effectiveness of (preventive) approaches and interventions for these children and parents.
