Project completed
Afghanistan Hazaras Culture and Solidarity Association was established in 2012 in Trabzon. The association works for the rights of refugees, problems related to refugee children, refugee women and elderly refugees as they constitute a risk group. In this context, it offers consultancy, referral, case management and interpreting services. AHCSA has organised many courses in the field of non-formal education and social cohesion in cooperation with local authorities so far.
About the project
The project’s overall objective is to improve the socioeconomic situation of Afghan refugees and contribute to social cohesion efforts through protection services, information seminars, institution coordination, language courses and intercultural communication activities.
As part of the project, refugees in Erzincan, Giresun, Gümüşhane and Trabzon will receive counselling, referral, interpreting and case management services. Seminars will be held to inform Afghans about their rights and responsibilities, as well as about child neglect and abuse. The project also aims at improving refugees’ domestic economy through language and vocational courses. Social and cultural activities (special days and trips to the highlands) will be organised to promote social and cultural cohesion with the goal of breaking down barriers, overcoming prejudices and getting to know each other, as well as improving the psychological wellbeing of both communities.
