IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM

Bridging the Gap for Refugee and Immigrant Children.

Newly arrived refugee and immigrant children in the UK face significant barriers to integration, particularly in accessing English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and essential social resources. Physical support services are often limited by location and availability, so these young people need a mobile-friendly solution that gives on-the-go access to education and community connections.

Led by Dr. Ashwiny O Kistnareddy of the University of Oxford, AdaptWell was designed to address these challenges with tailored language learning tools, well-being support, and social integration resources. The goal was a user-friendly, multilingual digital platform that gives young refugees immediate, relevant educational content to help them find their way in a new environment.

AdaptWell needed an intuitive, scalable, and accessible app that could support multiple languages, customised learning journeys, and location-based resources, with an impact that is both immediate and long-term.

CRAFTING THE SOLUTION

A Multilingual, Adaptive Learning Platform.

To meet AdaptWell’s goals, we developed a cross-platform mobile app using Flutter, which gives consistent performance across iOS and Android devices. Designed around accessibility, usability, and inclusivity, the platform supports users from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds while delivering educational support. It combines tailored content delivery with community integration and real-time feedback, which goes further than traditional learning tools. The app addresses immediate educational needs, and anonymous data collection also contributes to long-term resource development and supports ongoing research and platform improvement.


Key features include multilingual support in ten languages including Cantonese, Ukrainian, and Arabic, so users can engage with the platform in their preferred language. An interactive onboarding assessment evaluates each user’s English proficiency and personal context, so the app can deliver educational content that suits their skill level and local needs. To strengthen community connection, the app includes location-based directories that link users to local services such as food banks and support centres. A built-in feedback system lets users share their experiences, so the platform evolves in response to real-world needs and AdaptWell can keep refining it and expanding its impact.
