We work to empower North Korean refugees through support and integration programmes.
Kyoyuk - Refugee Education Programme
There are approximately 2,000 North Koreans in Europe. Many of these refugees struggle with learning the language of their new homes. 'Kyoyuk' is EAHRNK's language-learning programme, designed to support and empower North Korean refugees.
Phoenix - Young North Korean Refugee Mentoring Programme
As with many refugees entering Europe, young North Koreans face great barriers to succeed. 'Phoenix' is EAHRNK's work experience project, designed to support Europe-based North Koreans between the ages of 16 and 30 through work, mentoring, and training. Not only is this experience important for integrating in to their new countries, but it’s also important for creating leaders in different sectors for the future rebuilding of the North Korean state, infrastructure, and economy.
Skills Workshops - North Korean Refugee Skills Training
We wish to offer North Korean refugees the chance to improve their technological and writing skills to increase their opportunities for getting jobs and also for them to become more effective advocates for North Korean human rights. Through co-hosted (with partner organisations) skills workshops, North Korean refugees will be taught how to effectively use social media, how to write articles, and other skills which provide them with the tools to speak out and for finding work.
We facilitate workshops for North Korean refugee women to discuss their experiences, to learn more about women's rights from experts on the subjects, and to facilitate dialogue between North Korean refugee women on how to improve North Korean women's rights.
