Language for Resilience: the role of langauge in enhancing the resilience of Syrian refugees and host communities

This report builds on lessons learned from British Council language programmes and will be used to inform the development of future programming on language education for those affected by the Syrian Crisis – those living inside Syria and in the host community countries of Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It aims to identify the key needs of these different groups, current good practice and potential gaps in programming, and consider the ways that the British Council and its partners can further develop language-education programmes to build capacity during times of protracted crisis.
