Thriving through Play, the teacher training package we created in in collaboration with the LEGO Foundation, is now available in Arabic for use in Gaza. The training materials have been carefully adapted with several local and international organizations on the ground to be culturally and contextually relevant for Gaza, addressing the specific challenges faced by educators and children there.
Thriving through Play is an innovative play-based teacher training programme with a holistic approach. It was originally developed in 2022 by the MHPSS Collaborative and the LEGO Foundation, in collaboration with the Ukrainian Ministry of Education, to be used in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
The training package is free to download and available to everyone. This project would not be possible without the dedication of educators across multiple conflict zones who continue to nurture children under unimaginably difficult circumstances.
