About the project

The overall objective of the project is to create a living space suitable for children that is supportive in the areas of cohesion, socialisation and communication of children with their peers with chances for families to be assisted as well.

Cooperation will be established with Kütahya Provincial Directorate of National Education for the execution of the project. The project will contribute to the strengthening of inter-institutional communication to provide a child-oriented approach in Kütahya. Studies will be carried out to ensure social inclusion and integration of refugee children to prevent discrimination against children and to develop a culture of coexistence. Throughout the process, refugee families will be supported in child development, communication and psychological resilience. Children’s rights module program developed by Eksi 25 will be implemented. Legal, psychological and social support will be offered to children who have been subject to violence, and cases will be followed up within the scope of the association’s monitoring program.
