The project HOPES (Higher and Further Education Opportunities and Perspectives for Syrians) is launching its second round of Call for Proposals (CfP) to support innovative education initiatives and short-term projects targeting refugees from Syria and vulnerable host communities across Egypt, Northern Iraq (KRI), Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey and Syria and implemented by local institutions. The objective of the CfP is to increase the number of refugees of post-secondary age (between 18 and 32 years) from Syria as well as young people in host communities, that are enrolled and trained in higher education programs and training courses including innovative further education options and language courses. It also seeks to enhance the education and training institutions's capacity to deal with the specific situation of refugees and provide Syrian and vulnerable youth from the host communities, with opportunities to access further and higher education.

Furthermore, it aims to promote refugee education through better access to online resources, innovative courses and educational support.

The second round of the Call is now open until the 20th of February 2018
