Samenvatting

The research combines three topics: Conflict (management), Moroccan-Dutch youngsters with disturbing behaviour and Hip-hop music as Creative intervention.
The main goal is to give an insight in a possible method of Conflict management. We believe that the method Creative interventions, is not valued as much in practice as we learned it to be in theory. We are convinced that this method is usable for Conflict management. The outcome of this research can also be used with other groups of youth (at risk), or in other countries.
This research will explain what causes conflicts with Moroccan-Dutch youngsters in The Netherlands and how to manage these conflicts by using a valuable method. Then Creative interventions will be further explained, especially the intervention ‘music‘. We will show you the additional value of using ‘music‘, as a method of Creative intervention, in Conflict management. Working with youth at risk; if Social workers stop believing in their future and possibilities, then who will look after them and stand up for their rights?! We strongly recommend civilians and professionals to make contact with the youngsters and youth groups. Find out who they are, what their interests are. Communicate with them. Moroccan-Dutch youngsters are not as bad as everyone thinks they are. When you already have contact with a youth group this is very useful in times of conflict. Than you have the connection which makes it much easier to solve the conflict. Often it even does not have to become a conflict.
With this information, professionals and civilians will find tools to approach the Moroccan-Dutch youngsters.
