Abstract
In this chapter, Conti, Darmanin, Fenech, and Räthel, by combining insights from a systematic literature review on peer buddy systems with empirical data from German initiatives, outline characteristics and goals of the buddy approach. Offering recommendations for diverse educational contexts, including formal, informal, and non-formal settings, the authors introduce the innovative hybrid concept from the Horizon 2020 project KIDS4ALLL. The chapter emphasizes the strategic role of the buddy system in promoting social inclusion, with a focus on its application for the integration of migrant youth.
