Our project started in 2017 by receiving grant support within the scope of European Union Erasmus + Adult Education Projects under the coordination of Gaziantep University. Locally, Gaziantep Governorship Family Labor Social Services Provincial Directorate, Kayra Consultancy and Training, transnationally ACD LA HOYA from Spain, AKETH from Greece, ECESI from Bulgaria have partnered in our project. Also institutions such as the Gaziantep Governorship, Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality, Gaziantep Provincial Directorate of National Education and Red Crescent Community Center have provided support as stakeholders. Due to the war that started in Syria in 2011, approximately 500,000 refugees came to Syria in the border city of Gaziantep. In this process, refugees began to face problems such as social adaptation and conformity where they came from after their basic needs such as shelter and nutrition were met.At this point, they faced many problems in the field of education.At this point, our project aims to ensure that refugee parents with school-age children are a part of the solution to the problems they faced in their children’s education life, their children,children's schools and teachers, to ensure that their children understand the importance of communication with other parents in their class enabling them to see the truth by taking them from the emotional situation, take them from the point they are to move to the target point.At the same time, our project aims to ensure that local parents acquire empathic approaches towards refugee parents and contribute to the social adaptation and conformity process. In accordance with the objectives of our project, we first prepared a needs analysis report in order to better understand the needs and requirements of refugee parents during their children's education and their thoughts and emotional situation about the society they are trying to adapt and to provide resources for our Training Module. Firstly surveys prepared together with the partners in Arabic, English and Turkish and implemented in Turkey, Spain, Greece and Bulgaria. By this way 693 refugees parents 156 indigenous parents in Turkey, 600 refugees parents 120 indigenous parents transnationally, totally 1293 refugee parents 276 indigenous parents were reached.The results of these questionnaires were carefully examined and reported separately by each country and then a needs analysis report containing general results was propounded. (IO1) is a guide resource for the training module prepared for parents as well as an important analysis report for policy-making for local and national decision-makers. As a matter of fact, since refugee, the social integration of families, social adaptation and conformity processes came across as universal problems; this report has contributed to the whole world in terms of revealing universal problems. Secondly a web platform serving as a public and dissemination office for the project (IO2) was achieved. Thanks to this platform, all documents and information needed were shared and the project process was monitored. Lastly, one of the most important works of our project is the Training Module (IO3), which we created under the guidance of our needs analysis report.The main objective in the development of our training module is to mobilize refugee parents in the lifelong learning model, to move them from the point they are located to the targeted point and to gain new learning skills by restructuring them and to ensure that they become self-improving individuals, to raise awareness, improving both development of parents and the quality of education of their children by making them active parents.The module, which includes important topics such as Expectations, Awareness, Values Education, Life Standard Study, consists of 16 courses totally. After implementing Module’s focus group studies primarily in Turkey, in May 2019, instructor training was provided on the module in our LTT activity then the focus group activities of the module were also reported by our transnational partners. This training module is used in the continuous training centers of Gaziantep Provincial Directorate of Family Labor Social Services, one of our local partners. Kayra Consultancy and Training provides this service to the requesting parents. At the same time, the training module is being used by our transnational partners and dissemination activities are continuing. The Training Module has been shared in pdf format over our web platform and made ready for the use of the trainer candidates by making printed booklet. In addition, the entire training module is available at refugeeparentseducation.com. Since the module's English document is also prepared, it is suitable for usage all countries facing refugee problems. The module is also an application guide for the ease of use of expert trainers and psychologists of all institutions and organizations providing services in adult education.
