A refugee who is a New Comer

I am a 'pedagogic' in Friedland Museum and Evangelische Familienbildungsstatte Mehregenerationsenhaus.
I studied English Literature but I found my passion when I studied Education and Methodology & Curriculum.
Being the Coordinator of International Education and Resources Network opened doors so I studied Critical Thinking Skills and Project Based Learning.
While I was the Girls Education Officer, UNICEF Damascus, Syria, I studied ComBE, Communication for Behavioral Impact.
My career path is integration projects to help refugees being the new comers.
Before fleeing my country, I enjoyed training people to see the light which at the end of the tunnel! Focusing on Life Skills training gave me chances to see the trainees build their leadership skills and doing life not just living.
My career aims are:
Realise my passion, work for a sense of purpose.
Use my creativity and express myself.
Maintain job stability and earn salary which make my life comfortable and safe.
I would apply to be a social worker in a Fruenhaus or Jungehaus where there are refugees if I had the chance!
My three most important personal strength that I was raised up by a refugee; I worked with Iraqi, Lebanese, Somali and displaced Syrian in peace time in Syria, and, nowadays, I am a refugee myself. I am attentive listener and fair communicator. I read too much religions so I can build bridges for peace and reconciliations.
I would like to be a 'human resources maker' by developing training course manuals which have live success stories and case studies. I have already built one to train women refugees to build their capacities to enter the German job market. I will start the training on 06.09.2016 in Eschwege.
I will train refugees to earn life here in Germany not just get money from the Social or the Job Center and watch TV. Seeing them building life to be the added value and to work for a sense of purpose which is to live and integrate meaningfully in the community. No one gets up early morning to flee the home! But a man can make a benefit of being in safe and well equipped environment to make sustainable life. Refugees can be new comers when they focus on the present and develop citizenship.
My job stability is the outcome of the steps I will make while I am doing my job such as paying taxes, reporting my project, being active on the social media, studying more to be upgraded, and open my heart and my mind to capture the moment.
