ABOUT US

OUR CHALLENGE
 

We are a group of teachers, education consultants and doctors. Between us we have decades of experience in providing care and education. We have combined our expertise and devised a way to facilitate bringing education to the highest number of people with the least amount of fuss, at the lowest possible cost.

 

Education is a right, not a privilege. Education saves lives.
Education changes the world.

 

We are relying on volunteer teachers to deliver the lessons. We hope to attract volunteer teachers from within the camp and from across Europe. The flexible nature of the schools means that they can be used to teach anything and everything. Please help us to make this a reality.

 

Please help us with fundraising and spreading the message. We need teachers, ideas, funding & more kindness in the world.

THE IMPACT
 

The pop-up schools will bring life-changing education directly to where it is most needed.  People can continue their education, complete qualifications, develop their skills, take language classes and prepare for a future life. Adults and children can learn together and vital relationships can form. The school bus will provide a safe haven where learning and planning for the future can take place.

 

The consequences of not providing adequate education, according to the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE):

 

  • Children and youth neglected, vulnerable to harm and exploitation.

  • Psychosocial impacts exacerbated by lack of safe spaces and opportunities to be with their peers.

  • Cognitive and developmental needs neglected.

  • Likelihood of engaging in unsafe activities increases.

  • Children and youth may be more vulnerable to recruitment by armed groups or armed forces.

 

The reasons to provide adequate education, according to INEE:

 

  • Education can support well being, promote psychological recovery and social integration, in addition to development and growth.

  • Education is an important tool in providing children and communities a sense of normalcy.

  • Education can be life-sustaining and life-saving; offering the protective functions of safe learning spaces and disseminating vital messages around health and safety.

  • An Education in Emergencies response is based on education’s role in affording protection and in meeting the developmental needs of children.

  • Education mitigates the psychosocial impact of conflict and disasters by giving a sense of normalcy, stability, structure and hope for the future.
