Summary: 

Numerous programs encourage links between schools and communities to foster social inclusion of children and their families. For instance, in the Netherlands for second-generation Turks and Moroccans; in Pakistan for Hazara girls; in Canada among African and Caribbean-born immigrants; and in the US for Latin America and Vietnamese communities. Such programs also contribute to countering (often unintentional) discriminatory practices; many States have tested ‘two-generation’ or ‘whole-of-family’ approaches grounded on the recognition that addressing the needs of children is key to the success of their parents, and that strong and supportive families will promote better outcomes for children.
