ment and multilinguism to study how language as a context, especially lan-
guages that are primarily used, can impact youth development. The mono-
graph concludes with two commentaries that discuss the significance of the
national and international research presented in the nine chapters
Overall, this monograph offers a starting point for PYD research in
Slovenia with clear links to the research in international settings. An over-
view is also provided of the complexities of the various contexts of Europe
and Slovenia able to influence positive youth development. Thus, while the
research reported in the monograph focuses on the Slovenian context, it is
ambitious enough to also reach beyond the country’s borders to include the
international research community. In addition to novelty and innovation
in a scientific context, the presented research is socially relevant, especially
for its inclusion of immigrants and other young people at risk in the school
and wider social contexts.
