This subproject, "Migration and Transformation of Powerful Knowledge", addresses one of the major social issues of today - migration and cultural encounters. Like the other subprojects in ROSE, this project centres on practice-oriented matters. The broad aim of this subproject is to contribute to the development of a teaching practice that can have a significant effect on the students' possibilities to learn and thereby strengthen the students' knowledge and understanding of the field of migration.  Aspects of knowledge and transformation are central to the project. The idea of Powerful Knowledge is an important source of inspiration as a curriculum principle and raises questions about the role of specialised knowledge in the school subjects.

Methodologically, this subproject is related to traditions of Educational Design Research. This means that the approach is interactive and contextual. Research is conducted in close cooperation with teachers. To be more precise, so-called research and development circles are initiated with in-service teachers. In these circles, teaching materials such as lesson plans and exercises are developed iteratively.

Like the other projects in ROSE, this is an interdisciplinary project. Researchers from different disciplines, primarily social sciences and languages, interact. The project consists of several smaller projects, which in various ways examine the issue of migration and cultural encounters. The participating researchers are not new to the issues of migration and cultural encounters, and several of them have published extensively in this area.
