The “Adult Language Training Component” of TRP is implemented in collaboration of the General Directorate of Lifelong Learning of the Turkish Ministry of National Education of Turkey and the United Nations Development Programme. The project is funded by the European Union (EU).

The training is delivered at 53 Public Education Centres in 10 provinces of Turkey. Syrians living in Adana, Bursa, Gaziantep, Hatay, Istanbul, Izmir, Kilis, Konya, Mersin and Şanlıurfa will be able to attend the courses. The training in Istanbul is delivered in 11 districts. These districts are, Arnavutköy, Bağcılar, Başakşehir, Esenler, Esenyurt, Fatih, Kağıthane, Küçükçekmece, Sultanbeyli, Ümraniye and Zeytinburnu.

It is aimed that 50 percent of the participants across the country should be women so that the training will contribute to empowering Syrian women. Of the 283 master trainers who deliver training to Syrian individuals, 68 percent are women.
