There is an increasing immigrant mobility in the recent years all over Europe and specifically in Turkey. This situation brought the necessity to find out a solution to migration problems in its wake. One of the problems that are faced as a result of this rapid and irregular mobility is the difficulty of integrating newcomers to their new land that they plan to live permanently or temporarily. In addition to immigrants and asylum seekers, there are some disadvantaged groups such as unemployed, women and discriminated communities within a country.

As Luna Education Consultancy, we give a strong response to all these problems by offering the social-cohesion model to related NGOs, institutions, and projects that service in the field of migration and disadvantaged groups. By focusing more to Syrians under protection in Turkey, we organize social integration training for immigrants, disadvantaged groups and to foreigners in order to make them strong about getting to know Turkish community, how to access to public and social services, legal rights, responsibilities, and institutions, working life and employment. Under the scope of the protocol between Bilkent University and Luna Education Consultancy, social cohesion modules are developed by the reputative scholars from Ankara University, Bilkent University, Hacettepe and Middle East Technical University.

Modules are divided into four main and five sub chapters. These are;
Module 1: Social and Cultural Life in Turkey

Module 2: Legal System, Rights and Responsibilities in Turkey

Module 3: Access to Social Services
Module 3.1: Access to Education Services
Module 3.2: Protection of Health and Benefiting from Health Services
Module 3.3: Adaptation of Syrians to the Security System of Turkey
Module 3.4: Adaptation of the Syrians to the Sheltering
Module 3.5: Adaptation of the Syrians to Turkey’s Transportation System.

Module 4: Working Life and Employment in Turkey

Social cohesion modules are developed with a “need assessments” such as “lotus technique” and “auxiliary techniques” that are used in the field of educational sciences. With the help of need assessments, priorities and needs have been considered and modules are organized accordingly.

As Luna, we have social integration coaches in five regions (Ankara, Istanbul, Hatay, Mersin and Kilis) and can extend the training to everywhere in Turkey.

Modules are taught 60 hours in total.

ToT of Social Integration lasts a minimumof 5 and a maximum of 20 days.

All trainers are experienced in the field and they use pedagogical methods in the teaching process. Training is dramatized in related parts and it is measured with proper evaluation methods at the end.
