What is this project all about?

Refugee Action York (RAY) was founded in 2002 to raise awareness of the contribution refugees and asylum seekers make to our society and to challenge myths and misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers. Working closely with the members of asylum seeker and migrant families, you will help design lesson plans and project outlines for language classes and cohesion activities that are inspiring, engaging, and in line with the desires of the families themselves. You will build strong relationships with the organisation and its service users through attending sessions and social events to really find out what is needed.

The aim of this project is to develop teaching materials in consultation with adult members of York’s Turkish and Kurdish community that provide guidance for English language teaching and cultural exchange in line with the service user’s ideas.
