EU Refugee Assistance in Türkiye: Syrian Refugees and Their Stories

This exhibition brings together powerful stories of hope, resilience, and renewal from individuals who have rebuilt their lives in Türkiye with the support of the European Union under the EU's Refugee Assistance.
The stories you will see here are real-life accounts of how Syrian refugees have started over and rebuilt their lives in Türkiye.
Combined, these stories come together as one big success story born out of projects, funded by the EU.
Thanks to EU support, refugees were able to integrate better, become self-reliant and feel more secure. EU assistance is aimed at supporting refugees and their host communities in providing access to quality education, health services, protection, and help them meet their basic needs. Since 2016, the European Union has allocated dedicated funding to support Türkiye in its efforts to host and address the needs of the refugee population in the country.
This exhibition showcases more than EU's financial support - It is a symbol of hope and new beginnings.
