Possible articles: PE AREA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece

This Wiki page has information on Greece as a country, including its history and cultural norms. It will help me learn more about Greece before I begin my PE, however, I noticed that there was very limited information regarding the refugee crisis and its effect on Greece, with so many individuals trying to seek refuge in the country. There are many refugee camps in Greece, but there isn’t information about it on Wiki’s Greece page. I might edit the page to add more information regarding those camps and how it is being handled by the government of Greece.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larissa

This page has information on the city of Larissa, which is in the north of Greece. It explains both its history and also the modern era of the city, which will help me since the refugee camp I will be working in, Koutsochero, is located in Larissa. Again, there is no information on the refugee camps, which is what I wish to add to the page.

PE Sector:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugees_of_the_Syrian_Civil_War

This page discusses the refugee crisis of the Syrian civil war, and includes information on countries that have accepted refugees. It does briefly explain Greece and its acceptance of some refugees, but it doesn’t give much detail on specific camps and the relationship the camp organizers and the government has. I feel that finding more information regarding that will help me better prepare for my PE.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_refugee_camps

This page lists the camps in Greece, but no information about them. I want to research the locations, as well as the demographics of the camps, especially Koutsochero since it will be the camp I will be completing my PE. Having more information regarding the camps and my camp specifically will prepare me more and give me a slightly better idea of what to expect once I begin my PE.

Evaluating two articles:

(Area) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece

This article seems to be well-written in my opinion, and it has a good amount of information. I am sure this page has been worked on thoroughly as it is a page on a country. It gives a lot of historical information as well as an explanation of cultural norms,which will definitely help me prepare and better understand Greece before traveling there for my practice experience. The page basically has all the information needed to get a better idea of how Greece is as a nation, however, it fails to include current issues the country has, including the poor economy that many areas of the country is suffering from, as well as the refugee crisis and its effects on Greece. It does not include information about the many refugee camps that are located in Greece.

(Sector) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_refugee_camps

This page does a good job of explaining refugee camps generally, and does give solid information regarding camps in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon. However, I feel that there is much more information that can be included regarding the refugee camps in Greece. There are many camps in Greece and the conditions are harsh in many cases. More information regarding camps in Greece, and specifically Koutsochero camp would be helpful for me as it is the camp I will be volunteering in for my practice experience. Other than that, the page itself is well-written and the links to other pages are also helpful.

Summarizing and Synthesizing

Sector:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_refugee_camps)

In comparison to other countries that host refugees such as Turkey and Jordan, there is a lack of information regarding the impact of the refugee crisis in Greece. My goal for this article is to add more information on the refugee camps within Greece. In 2017, the island of Lesvos had 12,700 refugees register at the reception center, from a total of 36 countries. 36 percent of those refugees were minors.

Area:(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee_camp) Many refugee camps have a high statistic of children, who have been deeply affected by the crisis both mentally and physically. A lot of these children suffer from PTSD, which leads to behavioral issues and mental illness. Some camp organizers plan various activities for these children, such as informal education, arts and crafts, as well as sports.

BIBLIOGRAPHY:

For sector (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_refugee_camps)

This article shares the struggles within the refugee camps of Greece. It provides information on how many of the camps are overcrowded. This really helps in showing that Greece has severely been affected by the refugee crisis, even though it isn't mentioned much in research reports or even news outlets in comparison to other countries that host refugees, such as Turkey.

This report provides statistics of the refugees that have arrived from Afghanistan, Syria, and refugees that briefly stayed in Turkey. This helps me in my writing as it shares the struggles of the refugees in Greece that stay in camps and those who stay outside of the camps in the streets of Greece. It also touches on the topic of refugees being granted asylum, and the struggles some individuals face when they aren't able to get asylum.

This report points out the policies regarding migration and asylum seekers. It helps illustrate the conflict within Greece, and it will help me in my writing as I will be able to include more information regarding individuals and their day to day lives, especially those who got stuck in Greece after not being granted asylum nor space in a refugee camp.

For area: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee_camp)

This article is about the current financial struggles of Greece. It touches on the economy and refers to how that creates challenges for being able to provide state support to many of the camps in greece. This will help me differentiate between the camps that are ran by non profit organizations and some of the camps that receive support from the state of Greece itself.

This also goes in depth about the Greece financial situation. It speaks on the response to the refugees who arrive on the shores of the country, and the struggles of being able to accommodate them all.

This report explains the methods of Greece hosting facilities that provide a place to live for the refugees. It includes the different types of facilities and the different forms of assistance that Greece is able to provide for the individuals within those facilities.
