According to the official figures total 1million 652 thousand took refuge in Turkey since April 2011 in 4 years period due to the civil war in Syria. Moreover, 2.4 million Syrians took refuge to or immigrated to countries neighbor to Syria or European countries. 228 thousands of said immigrants and refugees lodged in 22 refugee camps established in Turkey’s 10 border provinces to Syria.Syrian refugees and immigrants may cause social prejudices with the justification that they cause discomfort. This negative prejudice complicates their social integration. When we foresee that immigrants and refugees are permanent, it is considered that the major problem to be lived in short and medium terms will be integration. Therefore countries experiencing cases of immigrants and refugees should develop integration projects.Under these circumstances, this project is designed to deal with immigrant and refugee problems at regional, national and European levels since this activity bears a characteristic to solve prejudice, language, skills and recorded employment problems especially for refugees and immigrants.In this direction, specific activities will executed in this project for the target group to ease their social integration via vocational and language trainings, in order to break down prejudices against migrants and refugees in the community, to increase their capacities and make them gain self confidence by preparing curriculum and modules for vocational training and language training and by producing booklets, billboard ads and documentary film by exchaning knowledge and experience from national and European partners and stakeholders with a multidimensional approach.In this project whose duration is 24 months, coordinator organisation is HAK-IS, a workers’ trade union confederation from Turkey. Partners are Göç Araştırmaları Vakfı (Foundation of Migration Research) from Turkey, IGMG HASENE Relief and Societal Organization from Germany and Conseil de la Jeunesse Pluriculturelle (COJEP) from France.During the project which is designed on the basis of transnational strategic partnership and its main activities are transnational seminars realized 6 times; 1 kick-off meeting and 4 Immigration Platform meetings.

The situation currently experienced due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the lockdown of the most of the EU population, who have spent more time at home and therefore more time online. Misinformation, fake news and cyber-security are increasingly dominant topics in an environment of disquiet and uncertainty where information proliferates that can cause not only social but also public health damage (FCT, 2020). According to a study carried out in the EU and USA, people with low levels of formal education are much less likely to say that they rely on news organisations for news and information about coronavirus, and more likely to rely on social media and messaging applications (Nielsen et al., 2020). Researchers also found that marginalised communities in every country did not engage with news and with government advices and, in turn, often know less about the crisis (Nielsen et al., 2020).The media landscape has undergone through profound changes in recent decades that irreversibly affected education, culture and the economy, having a great impact on citizens' daily lives. Just as literacy is the ability to read and write, media literacy involves not only the ability to analyse and evaluate media messages, but also the ability to create them. The fast technological development and spread of digital media, especially the Internet, has resulted in multiple access points to information that does not reach us directly from its source - it is mediated for easy consumption. Since media literacy is a matter of inclusion and citizenship in the contemporary information society, the MEDIA4LL project aims to promote the development of digital and media literacy skills in an embedded learning perspective, while supporting adult and community educators, and professionals from the arts and culture sectors in the development of media literacy skills of low-skilled adults and marginalised communities through media-based methodologies in a participatory community approach. Target-groups are:1. Adult and community educators, and professionals from the arts and culture sectors;2. Low-skilled adults.They key actions to achieve the aims of the project are:- The development of an engaging Toolkit of Embedded Digital & Media Literacy Resources (IO1) that will support low-skilled adults to develop basic digital and media literacy skills through storyboards, video storytelling and infographics. IO1 will cover the topics of (i) news literacy; (ii) information literacy; (iii)spotting disinformation; (iv) ethics of media use and creation; (v) dealing with social media stress; (vi) digital citizenship and cyberbullying.- The development of a tailor-made In-Service Training Programme that aims to train adult and community educators, and professionals from the arts and culture sectors in the development of basic skills of low-skilled adults through media-based methodologies, namely photo-voice, storyboard and video storytelling. IO2 is divided in three main axes: (1) Foundations of Adult Learning; (2) Media Literacy and Adult Education; (3) How to Embed Media-Based Methodologies in Adult Education Programmes,-The development of an innovative Handbook of Participatory Methodologies for Community Engagement in Media Literacy (IO3) which aims to explore the potential of media production for community empowerment and provide a set of recommendations for the implementation of media education activities with participatory methodologies. IO3 is divided in three main axes: (1) Community Education & Development; (2) Participatory Methodologies in Community Empowerment; (3) Participatory Methodologies for Community Engagement in Media Literacy.- The development of the MEDIA4ALL MOOC (IO4) which will enable full access of IO1, IO2 and IO3 in bite-sized units;- The development of a thought-provoking Policy Paper (IO5) that will provide a set of operational and policy recommendations based on the analysis of the results of the transnational project, for decision and policymakers in the and adult education, arts and culture sectors.By the end of the project:- 100 low-skilled adults will complete the Toolkit of Embedded Digital & Media Literacy Resources (IO1);- 50 adult and community educators, and professionals from the arts and culture sectors will complete the In-Service Training Programme (IO2);- A minimum of 300 target-group representatives will be enrolled in the MEDIA4ALL MOOC (IO4);- 10 adult and community educators, and professionals from the arts and culture sectors will attend the LTTA in Slovenia;- 20 adult and community educators, and professionals from the arts and culture sectors will be involved in the Local Working Groups;- 175 target-group representatives will attend the MEDIA4ALL Community Labs; - 45 target-group representatives, stakeholders and policy-makers will attend the Final Conference in France.
