Providing English lessons to refugees

The Learning Station Project’, set up by Lola Siran and Emma Yagour, who are both studying English Law and French law at King’s, offers English and French classes to asylum seekers and refugees in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Classes are held at King’s every Monday from 6pm to 9pm and students come mainly from Sudan, Syria and Eritrea.

In the first six months, attendance has risen to 50 students who regularly attend the Monday lessons and word-of-mouth has allowed more students to discover the classes. Students are split into different groups, depending on their level of English and each group is taught by a King’s volunteer.

Visits to exciting London attractions and football matches are also organised periodically.
