The Walrus Talks at Home: Education in Crisis
For children who are refugees, education is a lifeline. What does it take to deliver it?
SAVE THE CHILDREN, OXFAM CANADA, REFUGEE EDUCATION COUNCIL AND WAR CHILD PRESENT
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child affirms the right to education. Yet for millions of children who are refugees, that promise remains out of reach. Today, 5.7 million of them are out of school, and the barriers grow as children get older, limiting their opportunities for stable, self-determined lives.
At The Walrus Talks at Home: Education in Crisis, speakers from Oxfam, the Refugee Education Council, Save the Children, and War Child will share powerful stories and practical insights on what it takes to help displaced children access education. From teachers working outside traditional classrooms to local educators drawing on community history and customs, they’ll examine what it takes to support children in building a foundation for their future.
