Syrian refugees learn Turkish for better communication with host community members

Better language skills help refugees become more self-reliant. Thanks to the financial and technical assistance of the European Union, combined with the generous efforts of Turkey, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) supports refugees like Radiya and her mother Kamar, who are currently attending Turkish language classes at the Melikgazi Public Education Center in Kayseri. Thanks to her new Turkish skills, Kamar has made some Turkish friends among women in the neighborhood, and her daughter Radiya has found that her grammar and speaking skills have vastly improved, which helps her complete her university education.
