Education and Togetherness: Empowering Communities in Baharka and Kasnazan
Many regions face the challenge of integrating diverse populations, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees. In Baharka and Kasnazan, the Ankawa Humanitarian Committee (AHC) recently concluded a successful project, “Together through Teaching,” that aimed to tackle this challenge head-on.
Launched in November 2023 with the support of USAID, the project sought to empower educators, foster social cohesion, and promote unity within communities welcoming IDPs and refugees. Recognizing the potential of education to bridge divides, AHC implemented a two-pronged approach:
Empowering Educators: Traditional teaching methods might not always cater to the diverse needs of students in communities with varied backgrounds. AHC addressed this by providing educators with intensive training on modern, engaging teaching techniques. This included equipping them with tools to create inclusive classrooms that recognize and celebrate the unique strengths and experiences of each student.
Fostering Unity: The project’s impact extended beyond the classroom walls. AHC actively worked to build bridges between teachers, students, and residents. This fostered a sense of unity, collaboration, and mutual understanding, crucial ingredients for building resilient and inclusive communities.
