Study Visit in Türkiye: Refugee Youth Work
Study Visit
14-18 October 2024 | Ankara, Türkiye
Real-World Insights
The mass displacement of humans in the close regions created a unique challenge for Turkish organizations and authorities. This led to the creation of various effective practices that continue to support migrants at every stage —from entering a new country to establishing a new life.
This study visit explores how youth work addresses the challenges of supporting youth with refugee or migrant background.
During the activity, we will learn from experts, visit local projects, and meet organizations working with refugees to observe and discuss innovative services and strategies developed in Türkiye.
Objectives :
- To discover and learn from the diverse experiences of youth organizations working with refugees.
- To share best practices and innovative approaches between organizations to foster mutual learning.
- To discuss and enhance the quality of refugee youth work by identifying areas for improvement.
- To build and strengthen partnerships for international cooperation in refugee youth work.
- To explore adaptable practices from Türkiye that can be implemented in different contexts, addressing various stages of a refugee's journey.
- To gain a deeper understanding of the needs of refugee and migrant youth, and how these needs can be met through tailored services and support.
