Denne rapport er udarbejdet på baggrund af den følgende problemformulering: Hvorledes udfordrer det etniske minoritetspigers muligheder for at blive medborgere, hvis de går i en gymnasieklasse med en overrepræsentation af etniske minoritetsunge? Projektets besvarelse af denne problemformulering tager udgangspunkt Grete Brochmanns udlægning af medborgerskabsbegrebet og Helle Hinges forståelse af uddannelsesinstitutionernes rolle i elevernes medborgerskabsdannelse. Ydermere er stigmateori af Erving Goffman og netværksteori af Robert Putnam en del af rapportens teoretiske afsæt. Disse teorier bearbejder den producerede empiri, der er udvundet via henholdsvis et fokusgruppeinterview og et semistruktureret interview. Besvarelsen vil blive struktureret i en todelt analyse, hvortil første analyseafsnit har udgangspunkt netværksteori, og andet analyseafsnit analyserer ud fra medborgerskabsbegrebet. Stigmateorien er gennemgående i begge afsnit. Pointerne i disse to afsnit vil blive diskuteret i henhold til at besvare problemstillingen. Projektet konkluderer, at der forinden pigernes skolestart har været tilknyttet et stigma til etniske minoriteter på gymnasiet, som har påvirket pigernes muligheder for netværksdannelse, hvilket har udmøntet sig i en forskelligartet gruppeidentitet i klassen. Dette har ultimativt hæmmet pigernes medborgerskabsdannelse, og deres medborgerskabsfølelse. Afslutningsvist vil projektet indeholde en perspektivering, i henhold til en ekspertgruppes forslag til, hvordan klasser med en overrepræsentation af etniske minoritetsunge kan forebygges. This project is developed from and will focus on the following: In which way are the possibilties of ethnic girls becoming citizens influenced by attending a class with an overrepresentation of ethnic minorities? The outline of the project, is mostly drawn from Grete Brochmanns interpretation of the citizenship theory, and Helle Hinges interpretation of educational institutions role in the students development of citizenship. Furthermore the project will include stigma theory by Erving Goffman and network theory by Robert Putnam. These theories processes the empirical outcome of to respective interviews; a focus-group interview and semi-structured interview. The paper will have a two-part analysis section, in which the first part will focus on the theoretical term of citizenship, while the second section will focus on the network theory. Stigma theory will be a part of both analysis sections. Furthermore the conclusions in the analysis will be discussed in relation to answering the objective of the project. This paper concludes, that there has been a stigma towards ethnic minorities before the interview persons attended the school, which has affected their social networking, which has thus resulted in a differentiated group identity in the class. This has ultimately inhibited the girls’ feeling and development of citizenship. This paper will end on a note of perspective, in which a proposal from an expert group discusses how to tackle classes that has an overrepresentation of ethnic minorities
