Dear Youth Studies researchers, We would like to invite you to our final project dissemination event on Thursday December 11, 2014 at 2 pm in the Department of Education & Professional Studies on the Waterloo Campus of King's College London. The event is dedicated to the launch of the final report which is part of the British Academy-funded project 'The schooling and identity of Eastern European immigrant pupils in England'. It is about the educational attainment of 'new' Eastern European migrant pupils in England, factors that contribute to or hinder these migrant pupils' educational success in England, and how young people settle into British schools' cosmopolitan make-up. We would like to present our main findings and invite you to participate in a discussion of the findings with invited speakers.
