Abstract

The following contribution analyses the importance of sibling relations for children and youth in alternative care. While living together with siblings in situations outside the biological family becomes more and more ensured by legal rules there exists only few knowledge about the dynamics in common placed sibling groups and about the resulting challenges for the pedagogical work. The contribution is based on the results of a qualitative research project which was carried out on request of SOS Children’s Village Austria. The aim of the project was to reconstruct the perspectives of children and youth living in SOS Children’s Villages on the biographical development and the dynamics of their sibling relations for deriving conclusions and recommendations for the pedagogical work with siblings in alternative care.
