Game to help students feel more at ease with each other. 

# data[].attributes.body
I use this game with my new students and it works well, aspecially to help newcomers or inclusive kids to feel involved and better known by others. I divide the class into pairs and their task is to learn more about their partner, particularly, what he, she is good at and keen on, then they speak from behalf of their partner, using their name like "I am Dina. I enjoy dancing and I won my dancing competition in autumn, I am also good at cooking" etc.

A voluntary organization started in 2022 after the full-scale war, many of the volunteers are teachers working there after work or on holidays, making mask nets for our warmen and helping refugees. On the first months of the war they cooked food for refugee shelters, helped to sort clothes and houshold items, played with children.

Kiedy Mykhailo pojawił się w naszej klasie, od razu zwracał uwagę swoim uśmiechem i otwartością. Wydawało się, że szybko nawiązuje kontakt, że cieszy się nowym miejscem i ludźmi wokół. Dopiero z czasem zrozumieliśmy, że ta radość była też ulgą — świadomością, że jego rodzina jest bezpieczna, że są w kraju, w którym nie słychać wybuchów, a droga do szkoły nie prowadzi przez strach.

Mykhailo wyjeżdżał z Heniczeska razem z rodzicami i malutką siostrą. Podróż, którą przebyli, była dla niego ogromnym przeżyciem. Opowiadał o blokpostach, o żołnierzach, których widział z bliska, o broni, o zniszczonych samochodach i o ludziach, których nie dało się już uratować. Mówił o tym z niezwykłą dokładnością — jakby te obrazy wciąż stały przed jego oczami.

Do dziś rysuje wyłącznie wojnę. To jego sposób, by poradzić sobie z tym, czego doświadczył. Choć na co dzień jest pogodny i chętnie rozmawia, każda rozmowa, którą sam zaczyna, wraca do jednego tematu — do tego, co widział, zanim dotarł do Polski.

A jednak w tej historii jest też ogromna siła. Mimo tak trudnych wspomnień Mykhailo uczy się, buduje relacje i krok po kroku tworzy dla siebie nowe, spokojniejsze życie. W klasie znalazł kolegów, którzy go akceptują i wspierają — nawet jeśli wciąż istnieje bariera językowa. Dzięki temu czuje, że naprawdę należy do naszej szkolnej społeczności.

Together we can achieve anything

World Refugee Day 2021 focuses on the power of inclusion.

The shared experience of COVID-19 has showed us that we only succeed if we stand together. We have all had to do our part to keep each other safe and despite the challenges, refugees and displaced people have stepped up.

Given the chance, refugees will continue to contribute to a stronger, safer and more vibrant world. Therefore UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's World Refugee Day campaign this year is calling for the greater inclusion of refugees in health systems, schools and sport. Only by working together can we recover from the pandemic.

Together we heal, learn and shine.

UN Chamber Music Society Virtual Concert in Celebration of World Refugee Day

Sunday, 20 June 2021
9:00 a.m. EST (New York Time)
4:00 p.m. EST (Mafraq, Jordan Time)
Flyer

On the occasion of World Refugee Day the UN Chamber Music Society of the UN Staff Recreation Council (UNCMS), in partnership with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), is holding a pre-recorded virtual concert, which will also be broadcasted in Jordan. Refugees and other displaced populations belong to the most marginalized and vulnerable members of society. They are particularly at risk during the time of the coronavirus disease outbreak, because they often have limited access to water, sanitation systems and health facilities.

The music programme includes music featuring Jordanian Singer Leen Alfaqih; a world premiere of the Songs of Five Continents for the UN Chamber Music Society, composed by Yuko Uébayashi; and a repertoire composed and performed by classically trained Syrian musicians.

Watch the performance live on:

Background

Every minute 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. There are several types of forcibly displaced persons:

Refugees

A refugee is someone who fled his or her home and country owing to "a well-founded fear of persecution because of his/her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion", according to the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention. Many refugees are in exile to escape the effects of natural or human-made disasters.

Asylum Seekers

Asylum seekers say they are refugees and have fled their homes as refugees do, but their claim to refugee status is not yet definitively evaluated in the country to which they fled.

Internally Displaced Persons

Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are people who have not crossed an international border but have moved to a different region than the one they call home within their own country.

Stateless Persons

Stateless persons do not have a recognized nationality and do not belong to any country.

Statelessness situations are usually caused by discrimination against certain groups. Their lack of identification - a citizenship certificate - can exclude them from access to important government services, including health care, education or employment.

Returnees

Returnees are former refugees who return to their own countries or regions of origin after time in exile. Returnees need continuous support and reintegration assistance to ensure that they can rebuild their lives at home.

UN Action

1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol

Refugees are among the most vulnerable people in the world. The 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol help protect them. They are the only global legal instruments explicitly covering the most important aspects of a refugee's life. According to their provisions, refugees deserve, as a minimum, the same standards of treatment enjoyed by other foreign nationals in a given country and, in many cases, the same treatment as nationals.

The 1951 Convention contains a number of rights and also highlights the obligations of refugees towards their host country. The cornerstone of the 1951 Convention is the principle of non-refoulement. According to this principle, a refugee should not be returned to a country where he or she faces serious threats to his or her life or freedom. This protection may not be claimed by refugees who are reasonably regarded as a danger to the security of the country, or having been convicted of a particularly serious crime, are considered a danger to the community.

The rights contained in the 1951 Convention include:

The right not to be expelled, except under certain, strictly defined conditions;

The right not to be punished for illegal entry into the territory of a contracting State;

The right to work;

The right to housing;

The right to education;

The right to public relief and assistance;

The right to freedom of religion;

The right to access the courts;

The right to freedom of movement within the territory;

The right to be issued identity and travel documents.

Some basic rights, including the right to be protected from refoulement, apply to all refugees. A refugee becomes entitled to other rights the longer they remain in the host country, which is based on the recognition that the longer they remain as refugees, the more rights they need.

Get involved!

Join us this year on World Refugee Day and support refugees across the globe to be protected and included in health care, education and sport.

UNHCR Programs for Schools

In Spain, UNHCR offers several programs and resources designed to engage schools and educators in promoting awareness and understanding of refugee issues. Here are some specific programs and initiatives:

1. Refugee Education Programs

UNHCR supports educational initiatives aimed at integrating refugee students into the local school system, providing resources and training for teachers to address the unique needs of these students.

2. World Refugee Day Activities

Each year on June 20th, UNHCR promotes activities and events for schools to raise awareness about the plight of refugees. Schools can participate by organizing events, discussions, or art projects that highlight refugee experiences.

3. Support for Refugee Integration

UNHCR collaborates with schools to provide support for refugee students, including language classes, mentorship programs, and cultural orientation, helping them adapt to their new educational environment.

4. Online Learning Platforms

UNHCR may offer online resources and courses that educators can use to enhance their knowledge of refugee issues and share with their students.

5. Cultural Exchange Programs

Initiatives that promote cultural exchange between local students and refugee students can help foster understanding and empathy, allowing students to learn from each other’s experiences.

By participating in these programs, schools can play a significant role in raising awareness of refugee issues, promoting inclusivity, and supporting the integration of refugee students into the educational system. For more detailed information about specific programs available in Spain, teachers and schools are encouraged to reach out directly to UNHCR or visit their official website.

This educational project, “Paz en Construcción" ("Peace Under Construction” was initiated by photo journalist Alberto Hugo Rojas, who has been working in war zones since 2002. Specifically, he focuses on reporting about children and women living under conflict. They are the protagonists of the photographs and videos that serve as the project's foundation. The objective is to commit to education as a pathway to peace, which is essential, especially in these times. New generations must have human values that apply to what they want to be and do in life, with an eye toward the future based on Human Rights. 🌍✌️📸❤️ This video was the contribution from CEL de Canarias (Spain) to this project.
