Humanitarian emergencies—including conflicts, mass displacement, environmental disasters, and health crises—cause severe disruptions to education for millions of children. Here, you will find a curated selection of lesson plans and classroom activities designed to empower educators who are either teaching about such emergencies or who have emergency-impacted students in their classrooms. Topics include: refugees, statelessness, human rights, war and conflict, peace, climate-induced crises, emergency preparedness, natural hazards, first aid, and social-emotional learning. Find out more about our Education in Emergencies (EiE) initiative and our EiE work.
