UNICEF TURKEY COUNTRY OFFICE TERMS of REFERENCE SHORT UNICEF TURKEY COUNTRY OFFICE TERMS of REFERENCE SHORT TERM NATIONAL INSTITUTIONAL CONSULTANCY Short Term National Institutional Consultancy Services to provide EDU/TURA/2021-Z accredited Turkish language training to Syrian Volunteer Education Personnel (SVEP) Links with the Country Programme Priorities Country Programme Outcome 1 - By 2025, more young children, especially the most vulnerable, benefit from learning, nurturing care and development at home and in their communities. Output 1.3 – By 2025, the education system has increased capacity to offer inclusive and quality education (including primary) for the most vulnerable young children. Grant Code: SC200619 I. Background In 2019, Turkey continued to host the world’s largest refugee population. Of the nearly 3.6 million Syrians under temporary protection, over 1.6 million are children1. The Government of Turkey (GoT) continues to lead the humanitarian response, with the great majority of services for refugees being provided through national systems2. Within the context of education, refugee children are one of the most vulnerable groups in Turkey. While the GoT has considerable capacity to uphold and protect children’s right to education, education-related development challenges remain in relation to poverty, child labour, child marriage, and gender and disability discrimination, compounding the existing vulnerabilities of refugee children. Since the beginning of the Syria Crisis, UNICEF has worked in partnership with the GoT and other education stakeholders to ensure access to and quality of education for refugee children. The Syrian Volunteer Education Personnel (SVEP) Incentives programme has been a critical part of UNICEF’s overall education strategy in Turkey, which has encouraged the enrolment and sustained the retention of Syrian children in formal education3. SVEP are volunteers who provide support for the smooth integration of Syrian children into the Turkish education system. he SVEP incentives programme has three main components. The first one is the provision of monthly financial incentives that enables the volunteers to better meet both individual and family basic needs and ensures that they remain motivated and engaged in their roles. Provision of incentives also provides 1 https://www.goc.gov.tr/gecici-koruma5638 as of 17.02.2021 2 Since 2016 the Turkish government has been integrating Syrian children into the national education system. 3 SVEP are utilized in various education institutions in 23 provinces; Adana, Adıyaman, Ankara, Antalya, Batman, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Hatay, Istanbul, Izmir, Kahramanmaraş, Kayseri, Kilis, Kocaeli, Konya, Malatya, Mardin, Mersin, Osmaniye, Sakarya, Şanlıurfa and Siirt. recognition and appreciation to the important role SVEP play as well as ensuring their continuity in the education profession. The second component of the programme is supporting the development of the professional capacity of SVEP taking into consideration their roles in supporting Syrian children to access education opportunities and providing needed learning and psychosocial wellbeing support to children enrolled in Turkish public institutions and contributing to enhancing the overall learning environment in schools. SVEP provide support to the management of educational institutions, Syrian children and their parents based on the demands of a specific educational institution and context. For example, SVEP support school registration processes and language issues. With outreach activities SVEP support Turkish teachers to inform Syrian families about education opportunities and to identify out of school children. The third component of the programme aims to support SVEP’s transition to livelihood opportunities through the provision of a variety of services including skills mapping, training, career counselling, and linking/referral to livelihood programs and opportunities.

In the introduction, the important role that the cities play in sustainability was discussed with an emphasis on the significance of traditional housing areas in urban sustainability. In the second section, whether the compact city form is suitable for historic urban quarters was investigated with an empirical study conducted in Bursa, Turkey. In the study, home and home environment were considered as a transactional whole, which defines and defined by a set of cultural, social, and psychological factors, hence, a transactional theoretical approach was adopted. The study utilized observation and ethnological research methods in conjunction with surveys conducted with the residents of historic quarters in Bursa, which is one of the most historical cities in Turkey, a developing nation.

  • International Seminar for UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue: “The Influence of the Silk Roads on Turkish Culture and Art”
    International Seminar for UNESCO Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue: “The influence of the Silk Roads on Turkish Culture and Art”. 30, October, 1990. Izmir, Turkey. Role and Importance of Izmir on the Silk Trade XVIIth and XVIIIth Centuries Necmi ÜLKER Prof. Dr. Necmi ULKER Ege University, Izmir-TURKEY As has been known for many centuries, the silk trade either originates from Central Asia or Middle East goes back a long way. From China in a western direction, state dignitaries working for existing states and economically well-off people seemed to be in great need of silk and silk manufacturers over the centuries in the ancient and Middle Ages. One· can easily assume that silk manufacturers were used in large quantities especially in the palaces of the Sasanids, Arab states, Byzantines, Selcuqids, Ottomans as well as European states. This paper aims to show that in the trade of silk, Izmir as an international commercial center and a busy port has played an important role. The revival of Izmir as a significant trading center goes back to as early as 1620s. Supporting this fact, French historian Paul Masson states the arrival of Iranian silk in Izmir in 16211. As a matter of fact in the XVIIth century Iran was the main source of silk production and exporting country in the Middle East. Towards the end of the Ottoman-Iran war of 1615-18, Izmir had already become an important rival of Aleppo which was the center of English merchants in that century for silk originating from Iran.2 It can be said that, due to this war, the silk routes from Iran silk producing areas to Aleppo were continuously disrupted by the armed forces of the belligerent states.
