Children, adolescents and young people constitute the future of the new societies. Family relationships operate in unison with global changes: the family has lost the capacity to generate synergies on its own and needs guidance to overcome them. Family societies have lost the intensity they had in previous decades, due to the processes of individualisation and the loss of collective values. Therefore, it is a commitment of GESinn to analyse the socialisation processes of adolescents and the family networks of which they form part, to investigate their risks, to prevent difficulties and to promote and strengthen the mechanisms of social adjustment for the development of a positive life. The aim of the study is to investigate adolescence from different intervention perspectives: prevention, protection and re-education. The previous professional experience of the members of GESinn in the care of this group constitutes an added value to the empirical dimension.

It is based on the cultural and linguistic contrast, using corpus linguistics as a basis, between several modern majority languages such as Peninsular Spanish and English. The aim is to clarify concepts and look for practical applications both at a particular level between specific communicative communities and at a global level within the educational setting, as well as in social and professional communication, such as business communication. The tools of corpus linguistics, from a cross-cultural perspective, prove to be essential both for the collection of real data and compilation of corpora and for their analysis and application of results. In this team, the study of current social and professional communication is approached in symbiosis with the digital world, not only as a mediator, but also as a target for new generation applications.
The group also studies contrastive linguistics and its application to translation at a lexical-semantic and pragmatic-discursive level between majority languages, e.g. Peninsular Spanish and English, in specialised fields such as health sciencies as well as in other academic and professional contexts.

To some extent, disclosure of non-financial reporting has responded to corporate social responsibility derived from the existence of a "social contract". However, some studies suggest that this is due to an interest in pretending rather than being socially responsible. In view of the new information requirements related mainly to social and environmental information, it is required an exhaustive analysis of the needs of users and the impact that such financial reporting may have on the entities obliged to provide it. This is an emerging research line.

Modelling social systems, values and quality of life, and demographic flows.
This line is based on conceiving coexistence as a relational framework in multicultural spaces that involves negotiating situations of contact that may or may not be conflictive. Racism, xenophobia and discriminatory practices that rely on the construction of otherness are manifestations of conflict that are addressed here, while forms of cooperation, reciprocity, relativism and solidarity are ways that operate in the opposite direction. Relational networks, associations and social networks are basic aspects of the process of insertion of both immigrants and their children, which are approached from this line. Furthermore, it is essential to address the processes of construction of collective identifications, from a minimally intersectional approach that, in addition to ethnicity, includes, among others, the variables of gender, class, age and sexual orientation. Understanding the factors that influence and the dynamics that are generated in contexts of intercultural contact is basic to exploring the construction of intercultural adjustments or processes of cultural and social accommodation that are characteristic of a coexistence that contributes to social cohesion. A construction that operates in a political, socio-affective, socio-economic, socio-spatial, identity and cultural dimension.

GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments that serve to assess the contributions that Education makes towards the development and transformation of society, from a concept of Social Cohesion. It integrates different perspectives and aims to build a global model for the evaluation of education systems, in order to improve education in favour of Social Cohesion. GEM-Educo is developed with a commitment: to evaluate education (whether in the Systems, Institutions or Programmes) from a position that privileges the right of all to a quality education. In other words, integrating inclusion as a basis for achieving excellence. In this sense, the concept of Social Cohesion adopted by the Council of Europe (Lisbon, 2000, 2005), as a guide for the development of public policies, constitutes an integrating and systemic vision of quality, which can embrace the idea of quality as a right for the whole of society from any ideological position. For this reason, GEM-Educo aims to provide measurement and evaluation instruments which serve to assess the contributions which Education makes towards the development and transformation of society, based on a concept of Social Cohesion. In short, it integrates different perspectives and, due to its holistic - globalising - nature, aims to build a model which necessarily requires the support of a large research group and different projects.

This line of research addresses the urban insertion of immigrants in the more general framework of the transformations driven by neoliberal urbanism, gentrification and precariousness, and from a multidimensional and holistic perspective, highlighting the conjunction between the socio-urban, socio-economic and cultural spheres, sociability and neighbourhood relations. In this line, the evolution of the residential insertion of immigrants is addressed, from central working-class neighbourhoods to peripheral working-class neighbourhoods, which today have the highest proportion of neighbourhoods of other origins. The problems of these neighbourhoods are studied, which cannot be reduced to the presence of immigration in them, as well as their characteristics. It also analyses access to territorialised public services, schools, health centres and social services, as well as the dynamics generated at neighbourhood level. Another significant area of urban integration is the changes that have taken place in our public spaces, some more functional, mobility nodes, others more for leisure and relaxation, parks and gardens.

Therefore, in our research we have set up observatories on young people's entry into the labour market and strategies for career development in the early stages of their careers. In this area we not only analyse processes related to employment, but also self-employment and entrepreneurial behaviour and initiatives.

The creation of the Schengen area and the abolition of internal borders between the member states of the European Union has encouraged and facilitated new intra-European migratory flows. Their specificity is the recognition for these migrants, in many areas, of rights very similar to those of the autochthonous population. This makes them an updated version of the migratory flows internal to each country. In the framework of this new mobility space, we investigate the different existing migratory flows: the consolidated flows of economic emigration from the South to the North of Europe, mostly led by young people; the flows of "lifestyle migration" from the North of Europe to the South and the most recent migrations from the East of Europe to the South, as well as the internal migrations in the South of Europe. New migrant profiles, multidimensional motivations and complex mobility strategies are the main research themes of this line.

The strategies for managing cultural diversity that make it possible to generate cohesive societies as a political response to the fact of diversity are analysed. These are approached from a twofold perspective: first, multilevel governance, and second, the relationship between the institutional framework and socio-cultural dynamics. Within this framework, the conditions of insertion in public services are specifically highlighted. Given that managing cultural diversity implies a strategy in favour of coexistence and promotion of the diversity of the cultural groups existing in a territory, this line of work explores in depth the design and elaboration of plans for ethnic and cultural diversity or intercultural coexistence (municipal, university, etc.); the perspective of intersectionality between gender and cultural diversity and, finally, the challenge of considering the cultural diversity approach as a transversal principle for its application in different areas and sectors.

A segment of immigration faces conditions of precariousness and social exclusion. A social insertion on the margins that manifests itself in different degrees of residential exclusion, social rejection, administrative irregularity, subsistence economic activities, etc. In this sense, Romani migration is a particular case in point. It is a community-based, family-based migration, with high levels of poverty and social stigmatisation at origin and destination. Adequately capturing these phenomena is of particular interest for the development of inclusive social policies. The ethnographic perspective, combined with other techniques, is suitable for this purpose, facilitating the approach to a reality that is often invisible to the usual statistics and records. This line of work addresses aspects such as their migratory projects, residential integration, economic strategies and sociability and social participation, paying attention to the factors that hinder or favour their access to and normalised use of public services and, in short, their social integration.
Analysis of the links between migration and development. Impacts of migration on the development of countries of origin. Links between migration policies and development cooperation policies.
Migrant workers have inserted themselves into an increasingly polarised and fragmented labour market. Although there is a wide heterogeneity of immigrant workers, the vast majority have entered the labour market and the productive structure "from below", with a high sectoral concentration and in low-skilled jobs, regardless of the qualifications of the person who performs them. This type of insertion and their working conditions, with rates of temporary employment, over-qualification and unemployment that are much higher than those of the native population, are dealt with along these lines. Although the idea that immigrants take jobs away from the native population is false, it is no less true that our productive structure has changed and that, as in other European countries, it can be described as an ethno-fragmented structure in which the position occupied depends not only on qualifications and experience but also on ethno-cultural origin.

Identities (individual and collective) are very complex to define. On the one hand, they represent "a set of traits of an individual or a group that characterises them in relation to others", but also "a person's awareness of being him/herself and different from others". In this sense, this line of research insists on school learning as a framework that shapes identities and social representations, beyond the common sense socially reproduced and expressed in the media. To this end, it takes into account the historical-cultural dimension of school disciplines and the tendency to naturalise certain contents, practices and uses that hinder innovation.

Analysis and study of the socio-economic processes that occur in the territory. Socio-territorial innovation as an element that allows territories to face local development processes is a matter of interest for any public administration with competences in this area. Even so, this social innovation suggests the need for each territory (local, regional, provincial, etc.) to be able to determine what its territorial singularities are, i.e. those aspects that enable it to face the future with guarantees. This has a lot to do with whether a territory can be considered as a competent territory, i.e. whether it has sufficient resources, whether it has actors who implement these resources and whether, as a result of this, active dynamics are generated so that these singularities allow local development processes to be articulated.

Understanding complex social and environmental problems requires an interdisciplinary approach to the study of geography, history and art history, integrating heritage and sustainability perspectives. This also implies an approach to the culture of places in order to assess the reasons for the selection and conservation of certain remains or environments which, in one way or another, may be present in the school environment (museums, archaeological sites, natural parks, monuments, celebrations or festivities, etc.). The search for interdisciplinarity addresses transversal concepts such as sustainability.

The Great Recession 2008-2014 and the covid-19 pandemic have shown the socio-structural problems of our society in the face of which a diversity of transnational mobility strategies have been activated, both for the native population and the immigrant population:
- The emigration of young autochthonous people who left with the Great Recession and who, in general, respond to a qualified profile.
- The re-emigration of the settled immigrant population with Spanish nationality to European or third countries.
- The circular migration of seasonal agricultural workers in the Spanish countryside, especially from Eastern Europe and North Africa.
- The processes of return of autochthonous emigrants.
We are interested in understanding the effects of the recent crises - of a rather structural nature - on these migratory dynamics, their characteristics and specificities, as well as the strategies used by these migrants in their processes of integration, permanence, circulation or return.

This line of research addresses the urban insertion of immigrants in the more general framework of the transformations driven by neoliberal urbanism, gentrification and precariousness, and from a multidimensional and holistic perspective, highlighting the conjunction between the socio-urban, socio-economic and cultural spheres, sociability and neighbourhood relations. In this line, the evolution of the residential insertion of immigrants is addressed, from central working-class neighbourhoods to peripheral working-class neighbourhoods, which today have the highest proportion of neighbourhoods of other origins. The problems of these neighbourhoods are studied, which cannot be reduced to the presence of immigration in them, as well as their characteristics.
It also analyses access to territorialised public services, schools, health centres and social services, as well as the dynamics generated at neighbourhood level. Another significant area of urban integration is the changes that have taken place in our public spaces, some more functional, mobility nodes, others more for leisure and relaxation, parks and gardens. The process of urban integration of immigrants, whether it is more inclusive or more exclusive, is the result of the dynamics in these various interrelated areas.

This line of research pays special attention to the study of employee well-being and its relationship with performance and productivity at work. It therefore investigates two fundamental components of the relationship between people and organisations: the well-being of people at work in its different facets and also their effective performance that contributes to the results of the organisation. Special attention is paid to the synergies and antagonisms between well-being and performance and to the antecedents that affect these two aspects of organisational behaviour and their interactions. The research is conducted from a multilevel, longitudinal approach, paying special attention to the most relevant antecedents of the different combinations of well-being and performance.
We consider it essential to work with a gender perspective, always bearing in mind equality between men and women in all our work. From this perspective, we integrate the study and application of the principles of equality in a transversal way in the social intervention projects, in the research we carry out and in the teaching programmes for the prevention of gender violence. We promote training, innovation in social and educational intervention projects, counselling, and research in the specific field of equality and gender violence in areas such as administration, adolescents, professionals from different backgrounds, and teaching staff.
