Abstract

Background. Turkey hosts one of the world’s largest populations of refugee children, yet multicultural education within Turkish public schools remains underdeveloped and inconsistently implemented. Refugee students often navigate classrooms marked by linguistic barriers, cultural misrecognition, and limited curricular representation. Purpose. This study explores how refugee students’ personal narratives can inform and enrich multicultural education practices in Turkish classrooms. Drawing on a qualitative narrative research design, the study engaged 18 refugee students from Syrian, Afghan, and Iraqi backgrounds across five urban public schools. Method. Data were collected through narrative interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed thematically to uncover how students perceive their identities, educational experiences, and interactions with peers and teachers. Results. Findings reveal that refugee students’ stories reflect both resilience and marginalization, highlighting gaps in teacher preparedness, inclusive pedagogy, and culturally responsive curriculum. At the same time, narratives uncovered opportunities for empathy, cross-cultural dialogue, and identity affirmation when student voices were acknowledged in meaningful ways.   Conclusion. The study concludes that integrating refugee narratives into classroom discourse can serve as a transformative tool for multicultural education, fostering more inclusive and humanizing pedagogical environments.

Abstract

This research was conducted to explore the role of blockchain technology in ensuring food safety in the European Union. Blockchain has been identified as a technology that can improve transparency and traceability in the food supply chain. The study aims to assess the level of blockchain adoption in the EU food sector, identify the challenges that hinder the adoption of this technology, as well as analyze its impact on food security. This research method uses a descriptive-qualitative approach, which involves literature analysis, industry reports, and interviews with experts. The results show that blockchain adoption is still low, especially among regulators and retailers, with the main obstacles being unsupportive regulation and uneven technological infrastructure. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of developing more supportive policies as well as improving infrastructure to facilitate wider and more equitable adoption of blockchain in the food supply chain in the European Union.
