25 June, 13:00 BST
ERICC and IOE – UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society with Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) will host a virtual Seminar on support for children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing in and through education in conflict and protracted crisis contexts.
While much existing research in this area focuses on learning loss and foundational skills, this latest ERICC evidence review adopts a somewhat different perspective, outlining the challenges to mental health and emotional wellbeing, and suggests how education-related programmes might best be developed and enacted to support children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Dr Genevieve Greer (International Rescue Committee) and Dr Ian Warwick (IOE, UCL) will present findings which identify promising practices and key gaps in education-related support for children, and suggest how education-related programmes might best be developed and enacted to support children’s mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Chairing the Seminar is Professor Elaine Chase with Discussant Professor Lawrence Aber.
