Refuge Language Cambridge PET B1 Class

As part of Anaka’s 16+ Equal Access to Education campaign, Anaka’s education coordinators and MSCA Doctoral Fellow at Queen's University Morgan Mattingly organise education opportunities for young people from refugee and asylum seeker backgrounds who have no or limited access to education in Northern Ireland. 

For 12 weeks, with the support of Belfast City Council, QUB and Refuge Language, young people were able to enrol and attend Cambridge PET B1 classes. Taught by Refuge Language and held at QUB, the Cambridge PET B1 enables students to learn skills essential for further education with the potential for accreditation through a final exam offered at Belfast Met. Funding enabled 30 young people to learn from February to May 2024, and 15 to take the exam.
