Problem
Adults seeking asylum often lack access to adequate language learning and professional development resources, hindering their integration into new societies and limiting their ability to transfer existing qualifications or gain new employment. Traditional in-person language classes can be unstable due to frequent relocation and other challenges associated with displacement.
Solution
ELNOR provides online English language education and skills training to adults in refugee contexts across Europe and North America. The organization utilizes a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) method, delivering engaging content while teaching vocabulary and grammar within the context of the material. ELNOR offers weekly individual and group video classes, flexible online-offline hybrid options, and a 12-week Professional Development Program for intermediate-level students. The program also provides interview preparation and CV/application revision support, helping students gain confidence and access professional opportunities.
Target Audience
ELNOR serves adults (18+) seeking asylum or who have obtained asylum in Europe and North America, particularly those from Afghanistan, Iran, Ukraine, Burundi, Somalia, and Venezuela.
