Empowering refugees and promoting social cohesion in Ankara

About the project

Ankara Community Centre aims to promote social cohesion between refugees and the host community, eliminate the language barrier and contribute to refugees’ self-reliance through Turkish language courses, improve the protection conditions and wellbeing of refugees through advisory-information and PSS services by increasing their access to services and through awareness-raising and empowerment activities. Individual interviews, including counselling and information services on social and legal issues are conducted by social workers and caseworkers. Cases are referred to relevant professional staff such as psychologists and health counsellors at the centre depending on the sensitivity level of the cases. Moreover, PSS activities and awareness-raising sessions are conducted, as well as refugee committees and solidarity groups are established.

The overall objective of the project is to improve the protection conditions particularly for vulnerable refugees, including increasing access to services, to strengthen the self-reliance capacities of beneficiaries through community empowerment and to promote social cohesion between refugees and host communities.
