Summary/Abstract: In research, it is aimed to examine the views of Syrian refugee children on the migration experience with the focus of Narrative Therapy. The research was designed according to phenomenology. According to the findings of the study, it was observed that children mostly used negative expressions while telling the story of the migration journey, the effects of this journey, and their feelings and thoughts about the journey. However, the positive aspects of the migration journey story in the interview questions, their ability to adapt to new life, what they can do to feel safer and stronger, and the cultural values brought by the migration journey story were asked. With this speech, the children remembered the positive experiences that they neglected in the shadow of negative experiences in their minds. In this way, it was ensured that the children brought up the neglected positive experiences in their minds.
