Return to topMa’an/TOGETHER: Towards Gender-Responsive and Empowering Education for Girls and Boys in the West Bank and Gaza is a five-year project (2019-2024) aimed at addressing barriers to quality education for Palestinian refugee children in United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) primary schools. This is achieved by providing primary and physical education teachers, and school counselors with skills to support girls’ and boys’ learning and psychosocial wellbeing. Child centered interventions are integrated into teaching practice both inside and outside of the classroom (e.g. through extracurricular activities) resulting in improved quality education for girls and boys. The projec also promotes safer and more inclusive school environments for girls and boys in UNRWA schools through rehabilitation, as well as supporting school leadership and UNRWA education officials to enforce to existing policies and strategies related to gender equality, child protection and psychosocial wellbeing.
