SPARK is responding to the higher education crisis for Syrian refugees and vulnerable youth residing in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq/KRG. A lack of opportunities can lead young adults into poverty, radicalisation or to take the dangerous journey to Europe. By offering young people a chance to continue their education in the region, an educated workforce will be available to rebuild Syria once the conflict is over. Scholarships are offered for courses necessary for rebuilding, e.g. Childhood Education and Psychology.

In the MENA region, SPARK offers three solutions; scholarship packages, language & vocational trainings, and advocacy. Our scholarship packages allow vulnerable young people, primarily Syrian refugees, to access higher education in the region. By partnering with local universities, we ensure that successful applicants are automatically offered a place at an institution, without having to further apply. The packages also offer student services, including psychosocial support; economic empowerment courses; and leadership development. In addition to these activities, smaller-scale vocational and language courses are provided. Finally, SPARK encourages hosting governments to introduce better regulations for integrating refugees into the educational system.

In Lebanon, Arsal hosts 60,000 Syrians alongside a population of 38,000 Lebanese citizens. The area has been relatively recently restored to Lebanese government control. The region is heavily affected by the crisis in Syria, with the majority of Syrian refugees living in camps and access to services such as education is generally low. The majority of Syrian youth living in Arsal haven’t been able to go to school for the past 5-7 years, as there are limited educational facilities in the area. In response to these circumstances SPARK intends to expand its activities within the Higher Education for Syrians (HES) programme in Lebanon to the Arsal area. Therefore SPARK is currently looking for a potential partner who will be able to provide a range of short courses (duration to be determined based on selected majors) to youth in the area

Supported majors will include, but may not be limited to:

  • تدفئة وتبريد
  • صيانة هواتف
  • تجميل وتزيين شعر
  • لغات الكمبيوتر
  • خياطه وتصميم ازياء
  • ميكانيك سيارات
