Description / Descripción
How can education programs, approaches and activities for Early Childhood Education, especially kindergarten, be more thoughtful, sensitive and non-stressful when refugee children are concerned? Is there a way to adopt more suitable practices which are to minimize exposure to the traumatic experiences they have already lived?
The goal of this proposal is to make us realize how difficult it is for teachers to find thoughtful, sensitive, non-stressful and promising educational programs and activities in order to motivate the native students to care and accept their refugee classmates, not by pointing out their pain and sorrow but by treating them as normal human beings.
Educators around the world should be given all the suitable assets, tools and training they need, when it comes to dealing with so fragile and sensitive issues like children refugees. We should be able to feel proud of making the best we can to make a difference to the next generations.
