Abstract
ABSTRACT Refugees face numerous challenges during their displacement and resettlement journey toward the important goal of achieving social inclusion in their host communities. This outcome supposes that refugees gain access to education and lifelong learning. The aim of this paper is to understand the capabilities offered by mobile learning for urban refugees. The research applied the capability-approach lens and analyzed empirical data collected from twelve interviews with Non-Governmental Organization representatives delivering education services and four focus groups with Syrian refugees having received non-formal education through mobile devices. The findings show that the use of mobile devices for refugees' education allows the development of three capabilities: re-skilling, socialization and community involvement, and autonomy. The study also highlights the need for resources and conversion factors such as tutoring and cultural and linguistic compatibility. The study provides policymakers with insights about the capabilities generated from the use of mobile devices for the education of refugees.
