Workshop on "The Syrian Humanitarian Disaster: Understanding Perceptions, Aspirations and Behaviour in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey".

 

The workshop was held to engage researchers and practitioners with findings from recent research into the perceptions, aspirations and behaviour of refugees from Syria, host community members, and practitioners in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

It aimed to promote greater understanding of the unique socio-historical context of the Syrian humanitarian disaster in each of the regional hosting countries by addressing specifically changing perceptions and aspirations.

Professor Annika Rabo, Department of Social Anthropology, presented the paper “Education – what is it good for? ...absolutely nothing! OR absolutely everything! Formal and informal education in Syria 1980-2010 and the prospects for a future more inclusive and critical education”.

The workshop was livestreamed and can be viewed here.
