Research Officer Internship

Bring Hope Humanitarian Foundation is seeking a Research Officer to support a new project in Sweden that will enable language teachers and other educators to effectively integrate history in the language training of refugees and migrants.
Context
Bring Hope Humanitarian Foundation was founded in 2015 in Malmö, Sweden and Northern Iraq. Bring Hope was created as a response to the increased need for aid for millions of displaced people who were forced to migrate into Iraqi Kurdistan attempting to flee from the ISIS incursion, its subsequent torture, and resulting starvation -- arriving any way possible, many on foot. Since our inception, we have expanded our operations to include durable development programmes run on the ground in Northern Iraq, and delivered aid to countries across the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Furthermore, Bring Hope Humanitarian Foundation focuses on bettering the wellness, health and education of refugees, Internally Displaced People (IDP) and the most vulnerable populations all over the world.
The purpose of the post Research Officer-intern is to conduct a high quality desk research on existing programs or practices that integrate history education in the language training or any other curriculum related to the integration of immigrants and refugees in Sweden. This research will provide the basis for preparing guidelines for a national report/policy paper on how history education can positively influence the integration process among the immigrants and refugees in Sweden.
