Turkey has been the largest refugee host country in Europe since 2011, when it started receiving a massive influx of refugees from neighbouring countries in the Middle East, who were fleeing war and hoping for a better life. Aysuhan Tuba Saral (Aysuhan), from a coastal town in Turkey, has been pursuing her PhD studies at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) since September 2018, exploring how to help refugees integrate into society through education and skills training.
