"Context/background of the project: Between 2015- 2017 over 2 million refugees, most of them from Syria, Irag and Afganistan arrived in Europe. The receiving countries require human and other resources in order to respond to the psychological trauma of refugees.This project focused on alleviating this type of trauma upon arrival in the receiving country through the provision of psychological support. The carers' emotional needs are also addressed in this project through the provision of learning units and videos on self care and mindfulness. The Project Objectives: - To develop the health workers’ competencies in providing emotional/psychological support in culturally competent and compassionate ways, to individuals who are part of the new waves of migration primarily from Syria, Iraq and Afganistan who arrive in Greece through Turkey.- To help health workers and volunteers to develop personal/peer strategies to cope with the high levels of their own personal traumas as a result of what they encounter whilst doing their job.- To develop resources on open access for health workers, undergraduate and post graduate students who can use them for research projects and other learning, related to the emotional/psychological needs of refugees and health workers in the front line of service provision.- To create a network, a place where members of various communities can come together to discuss, comment, brainstorm, share views and good practices, share experiences, innovate, create, connect and collaborate.Number and profile of participating organisations: Six organisations took part in this project: 1) MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY (UK) (the co-ordinator), 2) ASSOCIATIA EDUNET (RO), 3) TECHNOLOGIKO PANEPISTIMIO KYPROU (CY), 4) UNIVERSITAT DE VALENCIA (SP), 5) KOCAELI UNIVERSITESI (TR), 6) ASSOCIATION DOCTORS OF THE WORLD-GREEK DEPARTMENT (GR).

In summary the project achieved the following:- A Khub with rich, useful and accessible information, personal stories, videos, learning units, networking sites and links to relevant websites for all target groups as well as short instructive videos on how to navigate the KHub;- A mobile app for recording and submitting a 'personal story' free to download for android and iOS devices;- A blog site which allows individuals from the target groups to contribute a blog;- Training, in the form of workshops, webinars and seminars.Information about the project was disseminate throughout the two years via facebook, twitter and mailing lists. This enabled us to have a global reach and to engage with other organisations and individuals who offered their support and help to the project. By the 1st September the KHub received almost 95K visits and the blog site 292,. All partners disseminated information about the project in national and international meetings/conferences to over 5K individuals. The national seminars were attended by 229 individuals and the two webinars by 100 individuals from a number of countries. Examples of impact are described in section 6.1 of this report. Here is one which is not included in other sections: We were contacted by a group of UK high school students studying drama who chose to enact some of the stories in the KHub for their GCSE exams. They said: ""... [we] have decided to base our project ...on Syrian refugees. We ... felt it is still an issue happening today and we want to inform more people about it ... we want to portray it in an emotional and realistic way. ... In the performance we want to illustrate a story of a young Syrian girl fleeing her country.... We are using real-life interviews from your website, so we can make it as realistic as possible. We felt that your IENE knowledge hub helped us to fulfil the role of making it verbatim theatre. ...we are planning to project your logo to make people aware of your inspirational project"".Longer-term benefits: The KHub will be maintained for at least 5 yrs post end of the project. It will also be the platform for the IENE8 project."
