The purpose of the project is to teach Arabic reading-writing skills and teach the fundamentals of the language to help them have access to better job opportunities.

As widely known, there are Turkish citizens of Arabic origin in the Southern and Southeastern regions of Turkey. Although they speak Arabic in their homes, they cannot use their Arabic, the 5th most common language of the world, official language of 22 countries and 300 people in their work life. Our goal is to teach Arabic to these people and teach them a profession to contribute to the projects run by the government to develop the 6th region.

Our project is currently have two centers ; one in Siirt and one in Istanbul.

Siirt:

Syrian Arabic language teachers who live in Siirt and in the surrounding area were identified and interviews were conducted with these teachers on October 25-26 2013 and 3 teachers were selected for the project.
Mr. Ahmet AYDIN was contacted through Siirt Education- Culture and Solidarity Foundation and the governor expressed his support for the project.
Mr. Mustafa PALA, the Deputy Governor of Siirt was visited. Based on the agreement made with the local management 3 Syrian Arabic teachers will be employed in the public education center and our AKTAL lessons will be given in that center.
Siirt posters of the project were prepared and sent to Siirt.

We had the first outcomes of our project in Siirt.
