In October, Al-Fanar Media organized a workshop for those trying to help Syrian youth get access to higher education in the countries near Syria. The workshop was hosted by Koç University and conducted in partnership with SPARK, a Dutch NGO that focuses on higher education and entrepreneurship with youth in conflict-affected societies, and the Scholar Rescue Fund at the Institute of International Education. Here we have tried to make materials from that workshop, including all presentations, publicly available to serve as a resource for those interested in this topic:
Final Report from the Workshop: Strengthening Delivery of Higher Education to Syrian Refugees
A short 3-minute video that seeks to crystallize the issue that the workshop was about.
Bibliography on Syrian Refugees and Higher Education: A comprehensive collection of reports, research and news articles on the subject of getting Syrian refugees into higher education
Presentations from the Workshop (Powerpoint and PDF files):
Good Practices from the UNHCR’s DAFI Program
Scholarships in Turkey for Syrian Refugees
Al Fakhoora: Creating the Next Syrian Leaders
IIE: Emergency Student Fund For Syrian Refugees
