Programmes to improve access to basic services

Access to basic services also involves access to information, learning and social participation. Student support and guidance services at Istanbul Nişantaşı University help communicate needs and refer students to relevant services. The Open Campus Academy practice describes free digital literacy courses for local residents.

A community example is the “Farklılıklarla Güzelleşen Dünyada Daima Hep Birlikte” project with Kağıthane Municipality’s Disability Day Service Centre. Interactive campus learning activities supported recognising and expressing emotions and participating in social life. The project connected university learning resources with a disadvantaged community group.

These examples concern access to education and social participation. The source does not establish participants’ income status, so no low-income-specific outcome or provision of food, housing or cash assistance is claimed.
