Mini Lexicons for Refugees Presented at The Cube

The electronic versions of the Mini Lexicon for refugees, an initiative of the Swiss embassy, was presented on Thursday at The Cube in Athens.

The Mini Lexicon is available in six languages, is free of charge and is available via an application for smart phones and tablets. It aims at helping refugees and migrants in their daily communication in Greece with people who speak Greek or English.

More specifically, it can be used to help improve communication with Greek authorities and with locals regarding general information. It has a special chapter for women and unaccompanied children.

To enable two-way interaction, all entries are phonetically transcribed in Arabic, Farsi, Sorani, Kurmanji, Urdu, French and Greek and are available in English.
