Abstrakt:
The article analyses the process of integration of street children into the street life in two different social and cultural settings: Makeevka, East Ukraine and Lusaka, Zambia. The study was designed as a mixed method approach and included 139 respondents from the street and 9 case studies of local NGOs. The process of integration was analyzed through 4 stages: acculturation, placement, interaction and identification. Results show the process of integration to be highly individualized. On the basis of these findings, a conceptual scheme for the development of an individualized approach to the resocialization of street children is outlined.Kľúčové slová:
