Across the Middle East, we’re working with local partners to provide vital education programmes that give children impacted by conflict and displacement a safe place to learn.
Theirworld’s partnership with the Ajyal Foundation is focused on providing a safe place to learn. The project, Teaching with Care, is designed to support both the education and emotional wellbeing of children affected by trauma. It’s a new approach which combines learning with emotional healing, integrated into subjects like Arabic and Maths.
In Israel, Theirworld supports Givat Haviva’s Children Teaching Children (CTC) programme, a model for peace education in the region. For over three decades, Children Teaching Children has brought together Arab and Jewish middle school students – who live side by side yet rarely meet – giving them the courage to confront prejudice and learn together.
We’re working alongside the Lebanese Alternative Learning (LAL) to address the challenges of children learning in crisis affected areas. Together, we’ve created Alternative Learning Spaces in two communities, Dhour Choueir and Zahle.
