Adessium Foundation and Kiron– Social mobility for refugees through education and employment opportunities

Through Kiron, students have free access to language classes, to courses ranging from business to social work topics, and to a vibrant online community where they find support and advice. By learning new skills, connecting with a community and receiving orientation support, Kiron students can take the first steps towards settling and integrating into their new communities. Support us in expanding our offer and making it available to even more refugees worldwide/in a particular country.

That is why Kiron created tailor-made short programs, designed to equip students with the tools they need to succeed in the job market. Our short programs teach students skills such as programming, web design or how to build their own online business and they are among our most widely used features on our digital Kiron Campus. Our students have come far with us, from founding their own startup to starting internships or getting promotions, but together we want to go further. Help us to create even more short programs so that we can prepare refugees for the 21st-century job market.

As a consequence, already fragile communities, such as refugees, are left even more vulnerable, ostracized from society, and excluded from essential opportunities in education. NGOs and other educational institutions who have been delivering education to refugees in a brick and mortar environment have been struggling to transport their offline work to the online sphere.  As a result, many refugees have even fewer opportunities to access quality learning materials. Kiron’s expertise embodies a highly-interactive, online learning environment, and virtual communication for a very complex user.  Support Kiron in sharing its expertise globally, thus enabling successful learning in these unprecedented times.
