Prepare yourself for insights, stories and lessons from their lives, and the acumen they have gathered from the LiME Project.
New and emerging teenagers of migrant backgrounds will find this book particularly useful. Often, lots of support and guidance is available for parents and adults as they become residents of a new country. However, less attention is given to younger migrants. This gap can create detrimental consequences for the youth including social isolation, loss of direction and focus, feeling unsupported and uprooted, helplessness, frustration and irritation due to changes in circumstances, experiencing identity crises, etc.
All young people, migrants as well as those who are already established in the new country will find information in this book very useful. And they can use it to inspire others as well.
Parents, mentors, teachers and school administrators will find valuable tips and suggestions in this book that will help them in their ongoing efforts to make great leaders of their children, mentees and students.
The content in this book will also provide government office holders, policy makers and service providers with real stories and lived experiences from young people themselves.
Finally, while Australia is the context for this book, the principles and lessons are applicable across the globe.
