Alongside our primary focus on supporting Syrian refugees into education and employment, Syrian Futures also delivers a number of other projects and initiatvies aimed at improving personal and communication skills, sharing and celebrating Syrian culture and improving awareness of the needs of UK Syrians in the public and third sectors.
Much of our community-orientated work is driven by Syrian communities themselves, offering participants the opportunity to conceive and deliver projects, provinding a sense of value and responsibility. We aim to work closely with students and colleagues across the University of Edinburgh and reach out to schools and other organisations to help support Syrian refugees to tackle loneliness, raise confidence and build self-esteem.
