Refugee on the Child Literature

According to the UN Refugee Organization; the largest refugee movement in history has taken place
in the last 8 years. In 2018, more than 13 million children (under 18 years) were accepted as legal
refugees. With the start of the Syrian crisis in 2011, Turkey has started an emergency plan, effective
and permanent protection program for Syrian refugees in 22 camps with AFAD provided protection
and support applications. As of 2018, the number of foreign refugees in Turkey has more than 3.5
million. Only one-tenth of these people live in the camps. In addition, 8.2 million people were affected
by the refugees. 85% of the refugees live outside the camps. Some of the main objectives of asylum
seekers, using Turkey as a bridge to reach the European countries. This makes the program
countries relevant.. The insufficient nutrition status and low living conditions of the migrant children in
the crowded camps require psychological support. Considering these facts, the basis of our project is
that identifying the needs of migrant / refugee children, incorporating them into social life and making
activities for their socialization with their peers. In this context, 42 young people from 6 different
countries will plan raising awareness activities on the needs of migrant children. Project participants
will produce information materials for immigrants / refugees to ensure the inclusion of children's
social life , for example, to carry out activities and will share their experiences in the 6-day event in
Turkey. The project outputs will be continued to be shared with the institutions and persons through
the websites of them. Partner countries Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Palestine and
Turkey; The activity dates are 20 - 25 May 2019.
