Doha, March 24 (QNA) - In order to support the more than 1.5 million children from Ukraine who have recently been forced to become refugees, Education Above All (EAA) has made its Emergency Education Programme available in Ukrainian and Russian. The programmes modules have been developed as part of the global educational foundations award-winning Internet Free Education Resource Bank (IFERB) for marginalized children in emergencies. "We need to support Ukrainian children manage these tumultuous times of conflict and uncertainty. We are specifically making our Education in Emergency toolkit for Ukrainian children in languages that they are fluent in to better help them manage their emotions, generate hope, and practice math and English through games and play. Through this, we hope to keep children productively engaged and do what we can distract them from the continuous stress of the ongoing conflict," EAA Programme Director and Education in Emergency Team Lead Janhvi Kanoria said. The materials integrate psycho-social learning with practical skills and traditional subjects in order to support students experiencing the trauma of conflict and displacement. They consist of simple and intuitive play-based projects and activities that that do not require technology or many resources and can be completed with minimal adult supervision. The Internet Free Education Resource Bank is currently available in 15 languages including English, Arabic, French, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Assamese, Punjabi, Tamil, Urdu, Swahili, Pashto, Dari, Ukrainian and Russian.
