Introduction.
Part I. Wellbeing and the socio-cultural adaptation of children to their environment. The wellbeing of children: its source and how it is affected by a sense of exclusion and acculturation.

The discourse of social exclusion and its benefits for the majority.
National minorities with a focus on the Roma problem and its historical and social-psychological aspects.
The Roma population of small towns.
Crime and its victims amongst members of different nationalities.
Part II. The support of children's adaptation to school for the prevention of social exclusion. Children's sense of safety under different forms of care at school and where they live.
Possibility, challenge or barrier? Tasks of public education: the international outlook and the Hungarian situation.
The educational requirements of teachers' assistants working with Roma pupils: the opinions of in-service and university teachers.
A new tool in the fight against social exclusion: the Questionnaire of School Life (QSL).
Creativity training with the use of drawings in counteracting peer rejection.
Art therapy as a method of working with children under the threat of exclusion.
A child of many worlds: a new meaning of acculturation.
"The sense of isolation and even rejection is well known to people from minority groups, including ethnic minorities. When it comes to children from ethnic minorities, the quick identification of the problem by teachers is of great importance. Anyway the problem must be realised not only by the educators and parents of the children of the minority, but also by the parents representing the cultural majority. The presented approach to the problem of ethnic minorities is not only oriented towards the social exclusion of the ethnic minorities, but tries to create a comprehensive strategy for dealing with new faces of exclusion. The authors describe ethnic minorities in the countries of the Visegrad Group and try to define their cultural and national identity from the perspective of intercultural psychology"--Provided by publisher.
