About the project

The project aims to promote social cohesion and non-formal education among force-displaced children and youth, as well as host community children and youth, in the Altındağ district. Through non-formal education, social cohesion activities and participation in the protection mechanism, the project will improve the protection of force-displaced children and young people.

The project will develop and support resilience among displaced youth and children, increase social cohesion between refugee children and children from the host community and contribute to their physical and psychosocial wellbeing through non-formal education programmes. The project will also be environmentally friendly by providing information on environmental awareness to the beneficiaries.
