Since the onset of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Syrians have sought refuge in various nations, with T & uuml;rkiye notably emerging as a prevalent destination. Due to T & uuml;rkiye's "open door" policy, rougbly 3.5 million Syrians have been conferred temporary protected status, with nearly half being children. Given the recent mass migrations, enduring migration flows, and substantial numbers of asylum-seeking children, fostering respect for diversity among children has become crucial. This research, therefore, was conceptualized to offer solutions within school social work aimed at promoting peace for asylum-seeking children facing segregation/discrimination. The study focuses on transforming the attitudes of host community children toward asylum-seeking children through literary works specifically "The Little Prince." Utilizing a Parallel Mixed Methods Design, 30 participants were selected via purposive sampling. The study investigated: "How does the implementation of school social work through literary works influence respect for differences, tolerance and love among children?" The findings suggest that integrating school social work practices with artistic mediums, particularly literary works, should be considered for social work interventions targeting children and their social environments within educational programs in T & uuml;rkiye.
