Humanities Department launches collaboration with IOM UN Migration Greece
We are very happy to announce the beginning of the collaboration between the Humanities Department of CITY College, University of York Europe Campus and the International Organization for Migration (Greece – IOM), the UN Migration Agency. In the framework of this collaboration, on Thursday, June 16th 2022, Dr Vicky Papachristou, Assistant Professor and Ms Maria-Araxi Sachpazian, Lecturer at the Humanities Department delivered two training seminars to IOM’s Skills Development & Community Engagement field teams. More specifically, facilitators who teach English to migrants attended a seminar titled “From theory to practice: applying methodologies of foreign language education in the classroom” which focused on the theoretical background of teaching approaches, as well as a seminar titled “From theory to practice: applying methodologies of foreign language education in the classroom: the practical aspect”, which offered attendees a number of useful and practical ideas to use in their teaching. IOM’s Coordination team for Skills Development & Community Engagement commented: “IOM in mainland Greece has been assessing the learning needs of adult site residents and has designed for meaningful learning activities (Greek, English and ICT courses). The specific training provided by the Humanities Department of CITY College, University of York Europe Campus was proven valuable in increasing IOM field staff's capacity and in fostering migrants’ overall empowerment during their stay within the Greek Reception system. We are positive that the collaboration with the CITY College trainers will significantly support IOM field teams' efforts to release the life-long learning potential of adult migrants residing in accommodation facilities across Greece’’. Dr Zoi Tatsioka, Head of Humanities Department stated: “We are very happy about our collaboration with IOM Greece as it allows us to respond to the training needs of IOM field teams and contribute to IOM’s noble cause. Giving back to society is an integral part of our vision”. More training seminars will be offered in September aiming at increasing further the capacity of IOM field teams.
