In this qualitative, explorative comparative study, we are investigating the experiences of young people in Poland and Germany in cooperation with the Uniwersytet Warmińsko-Mazurski (Dr. Sylwester Zagulski) and other cooperation partners in Poland. In group discussions, we ask the young people for their recommendations for successful transition processes. The study also includes a system comparison of the legal and institutional conditions of leaving care in Poland and Germany.
