PROJECT
FINISHED
According to the official figures total 1million 652 thousand took refuge in Turkey since April 2011 in 4 years period due to the civil war in Syria. Moreover, 2.4 million Syrians took refuge to or immigrated to countries neighbor to Syria or European countries. 228 thousands of said immigrants and refugees lodged in 22 refugee camps established in Turkey’s 10 border provinces to Syria.
Syrian refugees and immigrants may cause social prejudices with the justification that they cause discomfort. This negative prejudice complicates their social integration. When we foresee that immigrants and refugees are permanent, it is considered that the major problem to be lived in short and medium terms will be integration. Therefore countries experiencing cases of immigrants and refugees should develop integration projects.
Under these circumstances, this project is designed to deal with immigrant and refugee problems at regional, national and European levels since this activity bears a characteristic to solve prejudice, language, skills and recorded employment problems especially for refugees and immigrants.
In this direction, specific activities will executed in this project for the target group to ease their social integration via vocational and language trainings, in order to break down prejudices against migrants and refugees in the community, to increase their capacities and make them gain self confidence by preparing curriculum and modules for vocational training and language training and by producing booklets, billboard ads and documentary film by exchaning knowledge and experience from national and European partners and stakeholders with a multidimensional approach.
In this project whose duration is 24 months, coordinator organisation is HAK-IS, a workers’ trade union confederation from Turkey.
