The Syrian youth attended the Turkish Courses under the guidance of TÖMER's experienced instructors at Istanbul Aydın University.

Participants who pass the final exams are qualified to receive TÖMER Certificate. Thanks to the language courses project, Syrian young people under Temporary Protection have the opportunity to continue their school life, as well as to eliminate the language barrier which is one of the biggest barriers to social cohesion.
