Philoi.Education

Help give refugees around the world an accessible education.

Philoi is creating a Learning Management System (LMS) that will be accessible to anyone around the world who has a device and internet connection. It is designed for, and those working with, the displaced.

They will have access to the following courses for free:

Vocational English Training (V.E.T.)
There is a large gap for non-English speakers when navigating vocational English. We aim to bridge the gap between function and vocational English so that non-English speakers are able to improve their language competency while they wait for third-country resettlement. Currently, this program is being implemented with Afghan refugees through Zoom to their rooms in the refugee camps. We are hoping to expand this program to other CALD communities. We aim to equip people who go through the 40 hour course with skills that will help them with effective communication, introducing job-seeking and job-landing skills, writing strong cover letters and resumes, interview skills, learning about how to handle complaints and conflicts at work, and in day-to-day life in a new country.

Counselling First-Aid for Frontline Workers Supporting Refugees
Those who have experienced forcible displacement experience profound trauma from distressing events that impact how they think, act, and relate to others. Many cultures pair ‘mental health’ or ‘therapy’ with cultural taboo and shame. This deters many from pursuing mental health assistance. This project equips frontline workers with tools to offer immediate emotional support where it’s needed most.

We are looking for volunteer teachers and mentors who will walk with these forcibly displaced individuals. To express your interest, email us at info@philoiglobal.org
