The figure below visually demonstrates the organisation of the investigations in SKILL:

SKILL has two main objectives. We will gain insights into:

1. How ethnic context (linguistically, socially and culturally) impacts on language acquisition and use,
   ethnic identity formation, and psychosocial well-being in Sámi and Kven children and adolescents
2. The interplay between ethnic language use, ethnic identity, and psychosocial well-being of Sámi and
   Kven children and adolescents

These two overarching research objectives are addressed through three thematic work packages with their individual research questions:

• Work package 1: Ethnic language acquisition and use (Leader/PIs: Berit Anne Bals Baal & Kristine Bentzen)
• Work package 2: Ethnic identity formation (Leaders/PIs: Ketil Lenert Hansen & Siv Kvernmo)
• Work package 3: Psychosocial well-being (Leader/PI: Anita Mikalsen Vaskinn)

In addition, we will benefit from the synergy across the work packages.
