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 well-being of refugees through counselling-information and psycho-social support 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 case workers. Cases are referred to relevant professional staff such as psychologists and health counsellors within the centre depending on the sensitivity level of the cases. Cases with high sensitivity and risk are followed up by case professionals and a social worker in a multidisciplinary manner and referred to relevant local or other institutions. On the other hand, psychologists and health educators psycho-social support activities, awareness-raising sessions, refugee committees and solidarity groups.

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.
