The education kit is designed to provide support to primary and secondary school teachers facilitating them to teach students about issues related to child refugees. The purpose is for students to grasp the global status of refugees, the background and development of the Syrian war and the different responses on the Refugee Crisis from Syrian’s neighboring regions and European countries. Students can also enhance their understanding of how war deprives child refugees of their various rights forcing them to flee.
The kit includes teacher handouts, student handouts, lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations and relevant teaching videos as references for teachers to design and plan the lessons
