Our primary motivation for writing this project is our belief that we can minimize the social, cultural, and economic risks posed by the refugee crisis, which has become an international issue in recent years, through education. Alongside the dramas and tragedies faced by refugees, the prejudices against them further exacerbate their difficult living conditions. Particularly in European countries and in our own country, refugees are perceived as a security threat in the new world order.

These activities will constitute the four main actions of our project. Twelve teachers from four countries will participate in these activities, which will take place in Romania, Poland, North Macedonia, and Turkey. During these activities, meetings will be held, and real-life stories of refugees will be analyzed. Our teachers will gain experience by teaching classes as if they were teaching refugee students whose language and culture they do not know.

Particularly in European countries and in our own country, refugees are perceived as a security issue in the new world order. Prejudices and accusations are being generated that claim refugees increase crime rates, negatively affect the job opportunities of the local population, recklessly use the host country's resources, and have low education levels. Through our project, we will have the opportunity to present a different perspective on all these issues and offer some potential solutions. All
