ChildFund International’s Post

👼 Children in refugee settlements face immense challenges ranging from the trauma of fleeing conflict to the effects of war and displacement. To help them live to their full potential through 🎓education, we are equipping Early Childhood Development (ECD) teachers and caregivers with vital skills in psychosocial support (PSS) and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). 🕗 Over the next three days in Itula Sub-County, Palorinya Refugee Settlement (Obongi District), 60 ECD teachers, 99% of whom are refugees from South Sudan, will participate in this training. This program is designed to enable educators to recognize and respond to signs of stress and trauma in young learners, such as withdrawal, aggression, or lack of focus. 💃 🕺 Through interactive sessions, teachers are learning creative and engaging activities they can replicate to create a safe and supportive environment for children. These activities help children process their emotions, build resilience and prepare for academic success. Lukiya Kibone, our Sr. ECD & Education Specialist and Stanley Opus, the Project Coordinator-Education are onsite to offer the training. #EducationForAll #RefugeeSupport #SEL #PsychosocialSupport #ECD #BuildingResilience #BecauseWeNeedEachOther
