Description:
The project aims to implement a gender-responsive and conflict-sensitive education program for girls affected by the Burundian refugee crisis in Burundi and Tanzania. The project seeks to reduce barriers to education, and build resilience among Burundian refugee and returnee girls, including those with disabilities, on both sides of the Burundi-Tanzanian border. The project also aims to develop and test a new model of conflict-sensitive, play-based, and gender-responsive alternative learning, which supports teenage girls, including adolescent mothers and girls with disabilities, to access alternative forms of education and re-enter the school system. Project activities include: (1) improving the quality of learning environments in refugee camps to provide gender-responsive, supportive, and participatory learning; (2) establishing support mechanisms for teachers and training them on gender-responsive and inclusive Play-Based Learning (PBL); (3) increasing community engagement through leaders, coaches, and parents to reduce barriers that are preventing education for girls, including those with disabilities; and (4) supporting girls clubs and peer groups to develop knowledge and skills in and out of school. The project works in partnership with the Norwegian Refugee Council, an independent humanitarian organization working in more than 30 countries to help people forced to flee, helping to save lives and rebuilding futures. The project leverages Right to Play’s unique and proven gender-responsive PBL methodology and the Norwegian Refugee Council’s experience and expertise in conflict-sensitive education.
