In my research project ‘Between Encounter and Distancing,’ I examined the affective-emotional experiences as well as the relationship dynamics and processes of knowledge transfer in a civic encounter format – mentorships with refugee children and young people – from a psychological anthropology perspective. During my research, these children and young people came mainly from Syria. The format aimed to overcome segregation along socio-cultural and socio-spatial lines of difference as well as educational inequality.
