Strengthening Education in Emergencies through Knowledge Exchange and Collaboration

Strengthening Education in Emergencies through Knowledge Exchange and Collaboration

UNESCO, in partnership with Al Rakeezah Foundation for Relief and Development (RRD) and Save the Children International (SCI), organized a five-day training programme on Education in Emergencies (EiE) under the EU-funded ITALEEM project, implemented jointly by UNESCO and UNICEF.

The programme included one online day on 29 July 2026, followed by four days of in-person training from 3–6 August 2026 in Erbil, bringing together 28 participants from CSOs, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Migration and Displacement.

The training strengthened participants’ knowledge and practical skills in key areas of EiE, including inclusive and conflict-sensitive education, needs assessment, preparedness, coordination and advocacy for education in emergencies. Through interactive sessions, case studies and practical exercises, participants explored ways to make education responses safer, more inclusive and responsive to learners affected by emergencies.
