Unterrichtseinheiten, Vorträge, Diskussionen und Austausch von Erfahrungen (oral-history Konzept).

Durch eine Öffnung für Bildung sollen Suryoye-Assyrer-Frauen die Möglichkeit erhalten, Zugang zu Bildung zu finden. Dies soll sie dabei unterstützen, ihre an das Haus gebundene Rolle als Hausfrau und Mutter zu relativieren, um mehr Selbstbewusstsein und Stärke zu erlangen und ein europäisches Verständnis und eine gesunde Integration in die "europäische" Gesellschaft zu finden. Bei dem Workshop werden Suryoye-Assyrer-Frauen aus verschiedenen Ländern Europas zusammengeführt und ihnen wird die Chance gegeben, mit Frauen in derselben Lage zu kommunizieren und bedarfsgerecht gemeinsam zu lernen. Durch die Teilnahme von Frauen aus den einzelnen Ländern können unterschiedliche Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen eingebracht werden. Der Workshop wird ein umfangreiches Bildungsprogramm bereitstellen, das dazu beitragen soll, dass die Frauen aus der defizitären Situation herausgeführt werden. Denn nur durch ihre (Weiter-) Bildung kann ihre gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Lage verbessert werden. Sie lernen selbstsicherer und selbständiger zu werden. Die neuen Bildungschancen für die Frauen werden grundlegende und nachhaltige Auswirkungen auf ihre familiäre Situation haben. Die Frauen lernen im Workshop neben den Bildungsinhalten im engeren Sinn sich selbst zu organisieren: ihr Wissen an andere Suryoye-Assyrer-Frauen weiterzugeben, diese zu aktivieren, ihnen durch ihr Vorbild Mut zu machen und sie dazu zu bringen, sich an Bildungsangeboten aktiv zu beteiligen.
