With the Global Refugee Forum coming up in December 2023, the REAL Centre is pleased to announce a seminar series for this term focusing largely on education in emergencies, and the rights and experiences of those affected by crises. Details of the full series here.
Young children in crisis: Why prioritise Early Childhood Development in emergency settings?
Dr Nomisha Kurian, Teaching Associate, University of Cambridge, and María Benavides Camacho, Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Early Childhood Working Group
In 2018, 29 million babies – almost 1 in 5 babies globally – were born into conflict affected areas (UNICEF, 2019). In 2022, 230 million children were reported to be living in high-intensity conflict zones (Save the Children, 2022).
This seminar shares research conducted for the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies on the urgent need to support young children in a critical window of development and learning, and the ripple effects that timely Early Years programming can have on caregivers and communities in crisis and conflict-affected settings.
All REAL Centre seminars are in-person events with the option to join online.
