UKFIET-PCE Paper on Education in Emergencies
This paper presented at the 11th UKFIET International Conference on Education and Development presents the methodology used by AVSI and The Permanent Centre for Education, in Kampala, Uganda, to enhance education in emergency situations.
The methodology rests on the conviction that affected children need adults who will guide them to re-discover their inner values as human beings, instilling hope and catalyzing development and peace.
This document argues how this is the first and most important level of protection, why psychosocial support must be an integral part of formal and non-formal education contexts if we are to achieve quality education in emergencies and improve the sustainability of investments.
