The need
Following the war in Syria, the lack of adequate education infrastructure to meet the growing demand for classrooms after migration in Türkiye, particularly in 12 provinces with large refugee populations, led to the launch of the Strengthening Education Infrastructure Project. In addition to the shortage of physical infrastructure, the absence of awareness-raising work to support the schooling of Syrian children and their integration with host communities was a further barrier to accessing education. In response to this need, the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Türkiye and the World Bank undertook the construction and equipping of 62 schools in 12 provinces with FRIT support.
Force & Brothers’ approach
Force & Brothers carried out the project’s visibility, communication and dissemination work, prepared informative content about the schools and conducted awareness-raising activities supporting the schooling of Syrian students and their integration with host communities.
Outcome
By the end of the project, 62 schools had been built in 12 provinces and furnished with the necessary educational equipment. Visibility and awareness-raising work strengthened the schooling of Syrian children and their integration with host communities, and the new education infrastructure was shared effectively with the public. Throughout the project, visibility and communication activities were carried out in line with the EU’s visibility principles: a project website was set up, school groundbreaking and opening ceremonies were organised, a project information line was put into service, books and informative content on social access and project outputs were produced, local information meetings were held and information materials about the project were prepared.
Deliverables
- Promotional content for school investments, books, brochures and promotional films
- Schooling information activities, local information meetings, school groundbreaking and opening events
- Social cohesion communication activities, parent and school meetings
- Dissemination activities
