Support for education

According to estimates, almost half of the refugees from Ukraine are school-age children. Their return to school will help alleviate their psychological stress, give them a sense of stability and normalcy and an outlook to the future.

The Commission is

financing support for schools, vocational education and training, as well as for early childhood education and care through EU Cohesion Funds, and Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps

setting up an EU Education Solidarity Group for Ukraine to identify the needs of Ukrainian children and to support Member States who host them, including peer learning and policy guidance

providing access to learning material in Ukrainian and offering online resources and courses for teachers through the School Education Gateway

supporting teachers among the refugees through access to EU programmes and exchanges in the eTwinning community

European Research Area for Ukraine

The ' European Research Area for Ukraine' portal is a one-stop-shop for information and support services to Ukraine-based researchers and researchers fleeing Ukraine. The portal brings together initiatives at the EU level, per country and from non-governmental groups. It aims to help affected researchers find housing and job opportunities, facilitate the recognition of their diplomas, and offer other services.

The portal is launched on the existing EURAXESS network, which supports researchers by connecting more than 600 centres and 43 national portals across the EU Member States and countries associated to Horizon Europe.

Other EU initiatives include access to Science4Refugees, an existing EURAXESS initiative that provides internships, part-time and full-time jobs to refugees, as well as access to a European Research Community, and MSCA - Researchers at risk.

All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
// by All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development

Of the 26.4 million refugees worldwide, around half are under 18-and that number is climbing with the Ukraine crisis. UNHCR estimates that up to 4 million Ukrainians, mostly women and children, could end up as refugees. Inside Ukraine, UNICEF estimates almost 350,00 children are out of school due to the conflict.

All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development (ACR GCD) has tested, implemented and scaled education technology (EdTech) solutions and tools to increase literacy and access to education for children in low-resource contexts, including resources that specifically address educational and psychosocial needs of children in conflict settings. Below are two free tools developed with ACR GCD funding and support available for immediate use and easily accessed and used in homes, temporary settlements, refugee camps, schools, reading camps and other contexts.

This smartphone app, which helps children learn foundational language and literacy and Feed the Monster: improves psychosocial well-being, was developed in response to the Syrian refugee crisis in 2016 by ACR GCD, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), mobile operator Orange, and the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE). Originally developed in English and Arabic, Feed the Monster was translated into an additional 48 languages-including Ukrainian -by Curious Learning after adapting the open source code, which is available on GitHub . The app, available on Google Play , now has more than 511,000 users globally, according to Curious Learning's Follow the Learners dashboard.

Earlier this week, the Global Digital Library launched a campaign to translate 100 early grade reading books into Ukrainian. The online platform is home to more than 6000 books in 90 languages ( Global Digital Library: including Ukrainian), all of which can be read and translated on web and mobile platforms as well as downloaded or printed. It takes approximately one hour to translate one book on the platform; to participate, individuals should be fluent in both English and Ukrainian, have a keyboard in the language you will be translating into and have access to a reliable internet connection. Learn how to be involved at digitallibrary.io/Ukraine .

EdTech innovation and approaches are proven to help address gaps and barriers to child literacy in and outside of school and in crisis and emergency situations-even within less than a week.​ The findings from a recent study by the World Bank that provided children in northwestern Nigeria with low-cost cell phones preloaded with that EdTech can improve reading outcomes for children in low resource contexts in as little as five days, with learning outcomes continuing to improve one month out. Feed the Monster and the Global Digital Library provides compelling evidence Learn more about the study.

UNICEF reports that more than 33 million children worldwide have been forcibly displaced at the end of 2020. Due to the combined impact of forced migration crises and the pandemic, the UN estimates the number of children who lack basic reading skills-which plays a crucial role in a child's opportunity to attend and complete their education, a proven driver in reducing poverty-has increased from 387 million prior to the pandemic to 584 million .

Be part of the solution to get all children reading. Below are additional resources for learning more about implementing EdTech in emergency and low resource contexts:

For more solutions and tools-ranging from free book creation software and digital learning games, apps and libraries to book tracking and data collection solutions-visit the ACR GCD Solutions Hub .

Online educational resources in Ukrainian: schooling in Ukraine under adverse conditions

Image: Tereza / Adobe Stock

Since 14 March, schooling has resumed in most regions of Ukraine with the help of distance learning. Ukrainian students both inside and outside the country can access educational online material in Ukrainian.

Emergency remote teaching in Ukraine

With martial law in place, Ukraine has shifted to emergency remote teaching, a temporary learning mode that schools had already adopted in the past because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ukraine's main platform for distance learning is the National Online School, featuring lessons in all subjects, both for primary and secondary school pupils. In regions where Internet access has been disrupted, pupils will be able to watch lessons on Ukrainian television instead. Both the online and televised lessons are integrated into an interactive Google Calendar schedule for easier coordination.

Distance learning is also recommended for children with special educational needs. In this case, teachers and parents can implement a personalised curriculum using their preferred communication channels.

Vocational Training and Education (VET) institutions are likewise advised to carry out the theoretical part of their lessons online and to postpone the practical part until after the end of martial law.

Online educational resources in Ukrainian
Ukraine
Aside from its National Online School, Ukraine's online educational resources include:

There is also educational material in Ukrainian provided from within the EU, including:
Estonia
Information, methodological advice and study materials are available on the website of the Education and Youth Board.

Estonian EdTech companies are translating their digital learning platforms, games and tools into Ukrainian (for teachers and learners from Ukraine, both in Estonia and in Ukraine), free of charge and regularly updated: Support for Ukraine - EdTech Estonia
Poland
Poland's official online educational platform has a newly added Ukrainian section.

The war in Ukraine has forcibly displaced over 12 million people both inside the country and in neighbouring countries, including 4.6 million children. As of 25 April, a total of 1,499 education institutions have suffered bombing and shelling with 102 of them destroyed completely.

Among those impacted by the war are 7.5 million children, 1.5 million youth, and over 70,000 international students who were learning in Ukraine prior to the war.. In response, UNESCO’s prime aim is to ensure the continuity of teaching and learning amid the crisis.

UNESCO has mobilized internal and external resources to support the Ukrainian Ministry of Education and Science through the following three actions:

Provision of computer hardware and equipment to support online teaching and learning.

Development and expansion of digital education platforms and content.

Development of a higher education e-assessment system.

UNESCO also supports refugee students who have fled Ukraine. In Poland, UNESCO is engaging with the Education Working Group to support the Ministry of Education in strengthening the national education system. In Moldova, UNESCO will support the project "Creating an inclusive and non-discriminatory environment for Ukrainian refugees in Moldova".

UNESCO conducted a comprehensive mapping on the integration policies by hosting countries for Ukrainian children and youth. This is being rapidly expanded to cover countries beyond Europe, as well as to analyze the provision of higher education learning opportunities for both Ukrainian and international students outside of Europe.

Overview

NBSS Level 2 academic literacy and learning support is provided to students for whom Level 1 provision is not sufficient. Level 2 support is about targeting, planning and monitoring short-term focused interventions for small groups of students. Such an intervention might for example address two or more of the five main components of reading - comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, phonics and phonemic awareness - or focus on writing, spelling or study skills development. For some students, a tightly focused group intervention will be sufficient to allow them to develop their literacy skills and build their confidence to engage more actively in the learning process.

Developing students' reading skills through small group or individual interventions, using research validated approaches has been a specific focus of the work of the NBSS in the last number of years. Rapid Plus is a reading scheme centered around a series of levelled books i.e. texts of progressing difficulty,for struggling readers with reading ages of 6.6 to 9.6, that NBSS partner schools have implemented.

The Rapid Plus books are age appropriate and match the interests and experiences of 11-14 year olds.The reading scheme can be used with small groups of students and employs a similar teaching approach and session routine to Catch Up Literacy i.e. before reading characters, plots and tricky words are introduced, this is followed by an independent reading session and finally each text ends with a 'Quiz' page that provides opportunities for discussion and to check comprehension as well as a linked writing activity.

A Teaching Guide provides step-by-step support and prompts for each session and follow up work as well as end of stage assessments. The Assessment Book for each Rapid Plus stage contains two fiction stories to help teachers assess students' progress and address difficulties, if necessary, before moving onto the next stage. Each Assessment Book is supported by an assessment record in the Teaching Guide that allows the teacher to evaluate each students' progress accurately. Assessment Books check decoding skills, comprehension and spelling.

Key features of Rapid Plus:

Finely levelled fiction, playscripts (a short play for four characters which elaborates some action in the fiction story) and thematically linked non-fiction texts.

Assessment texts to monitor students' progress.

Clear guidance for every text for adult/teacher leading group/guided reading sessions.

Photocopy masters to consolidate word- and text-level work linking reading, writing and spelling.

Three stages of progression with four books at each stage.

Texts with a specially designed font approved by the British Dyslexia Association. This font has minor modification to letters such as 'b' and 'd' that can easily be confused by the struggling reader. The font also has a slight increase in the spacing between letters that struggling readers often perceive as one letter, e.g. 'r' and 'l'.

Available as online software that includes an eBook version of all the texts and features such as 'Read to Me' that allows students to hear the text being read aloud and activities that allow students to check their comprehension and to develop their word knowledge, understanding of the author's style, vocabulary and spelling skills (the software version however was not used in NBSS partner schools).

Rapid Plus in NBSS Partner Schools

In November 2012 NBSS offered this group reading intervention to teachers who had been trained in the Catch Up Literacy intervention between 2010 and 2012. One of the challenges raised after implementing the Catch Up literacy intervention by some schools was the issue of time and personnel. Rapid Plus is a reading scheme that employs a similar teaching methodology to Catch Up Literacy but can be used with groups of students. By introducing Rapid Plus the NBSS hoped to maximise and extend the potential benefits of the training teachers had received through the Catch Up intervention as well as trailing a reading intervention that could be used in a group or small class setting.

From January to May 2013 five NBSS partner schools implemented Rapid Plus with 51 students, in groups of on average four students. The table 1 outlines the number of students per group and the number of Rapid Plus sessions each group received, during an approximately five month period. In additional to these five schools, one additional school used the resource from March 2013 with four TY students, in one to one sessions. The teachers in this school were not trained in the Catch Up Literacy intervention however, they found Rapid Plus easy to implement as the guidance provided in the Teaching Guide was clear aNund comprehensive.

The adoption of an approach or programme described as 'research-validated or evidence-based' does not guarantee reading success for learners. Teachers and school management (and support services) must also evaluate strategies, approaches and programmes through the lens of their particular school and setting. They need to consider if the approach or programme meets the needs of their students in their setting, with the resources they have available for implementation.

To assist schools in this process the NBSS asked the teachers involved in the Rapid Plus to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.

Teacher Feedback

In May 2013 all teachers involved were asked to complete a questionnaire on implementing the Rapid Plus reading scheme. All nine teachers involved returned the questionnaire and what follows is a compilation of their responses.

Additionally, school were asked to submit pre and post standardised reading achievement test scores, if gathered. Four of the five schools submitted standardised reading achievement test scores.

What were the benefits of running the Rapid Plus Intervention with students?

It was very structured and provides reading, comprehension and written work. It was quite similar to Catch Up but could be used with a larger group. It allowed for group discussion and activity. The students enjoyed reading aloud and playing a role in the plays. Good use of group interaction.

Step-by-step instructions, extra reading materials, and also comprehension and grammar tasks. Students improved their reading strategies/techniques of reading, fluency, intonation, comprehensive and also their general knowledge through the short stories. They analysed text as well as expanding their views about important topics such as friendship, peer support, decision-making, fame, historical events etc. The texts require them to activate their imagination and creativity.

It complements the Catch Up in literacy very well. The books are better, in my opinion, and less 'babyish'.

Students liked the books, as they are age appropriate and up-to-date. The teacher's manual instructions and worksheet cut down hugely on the amount of time I had to spend preparing the class. The girls didn't mind doing the worksheets as they were connected in some way to the text they had just read.

It is a group intervention so it can be used with a larger number of students than Catch Up Literacy.

Being part of a group, improved their oral communication skills during discussion of books.

Were there any challenges to running the intervention?

My group were made up of the weakest readers in first year. Therefore it was difficult to get the level right for each pupil's needs.

I can't think of any, except that I only meet with the students for one 35 min period per week - more time would be better for continuity with the books.

Matching reading ages, careful planning ahead to match other spelling, phonics work with the Rapid Plus work sheets.

Time.

In the group of seven they were all volunteering to read the play and there were only four parts. Attendance, I had a particularly problematic group, one left the school and the other permanently in the BSC - I replaced them with 2 other students. Attendence - if missing they could have missed some chapters.

As I used it in an individual learning situation, some parts of the Rapid Plus Intervention was not as effective as it could have been within a small group (dialogues, argumentative parts of the comprehensive questions.)

What improvements, if any, did you notice in students' reading skills, attitude etc?

They really enjoyed the books. One pupil is reading for leisure now and he was a million miles away from this in September.

They began to understand the value of pre-reading techniques such as SQ3R.They started to make better attempts at inferential comprehension questions. They got more confident reading out loud.

The students gained confidence, the reading ages and ability levels of the group were matched as closely as possible, so the students became comfortable with each other and they were more inclined to take risks. Initially they were reluctant to 'sound out' an unfamiliar word but quickly overcame this. The students enjoyed reading together and discussing what they read, I think they looked forward to the Rapid Plus days.

Became more confident in reading, will now ask to read out loud. Listening skills improved.

They were willing to read as new vocabulary was covered before reading and each section had an introduction. They loved the books, the design and layout. Taking turns in reading aloud to each other give them confidence, they started volunteering for turns. The group role-play encouraged reading aloud with emphasis on tone. They really enjoyed the contents and graphics.

Students' reading skills improved in terms of fluency, self-correction, appropriate intonation, comprehension and their reading speed increased as well. In case of unknown or difficult words, permanent feedback and constant repeating of certain expressions in different contexts allowed students to deepen and expand their vocabulary and general knowledge. Grammar and writing worksheets/tasks helped develop writing skills and got students to apply their creativity and express their own ideas and thoughts.

How did you monitor and evaluate students' progress?

I did a reading age test at the start on each of the students. I haven't yet re-tested. I will at the end of the year. I recorded the progress, comments and attitudes of the girls in my notes.

NGRT tests were used at the beginning of the year and students will shortly be retested. But Rapid Plus was just one part of an intervention programme so improvements, or otherwise, cannot be solely attributed to Rapid Plus. Improvements in written work, spelling and enjoyment of reading were noted informally.

Feedback from students re: Books, correction of questions.

Pre and Post testing.

Mainly through general observation, using supplementary activities such as the comprehension shuffle cards, the adolescent surveys about reading motivation, self-concept of reading and peer influence on each student's reading strategies and skills [these were additional resources provided to the school by NBSS as part of an intervention plan for targeted students]. The quizzes at the end of the Rapid Plus books and the assessment texts also provided a good basis for evaluating progress and pointed to areas where students still needed to improve.

Did the students make any comments about the Rapid Plus intervention in terms of likes and dislikes?

They liked the books and felt a huge sense of achievement in the number of books they read. We included these books in our library league, therefore these pupils have reached their DEIS reading targets this year

' Can we just get started, 'I can't wait to see what happens' and 'I love these books' and 'Can we read another one of those books', are just some of the comments students had about the Rapid Plus books.

The students enjoyed the programme; they especially liked the drama format which allowed them to each take a particular character.

Liked layout, colours, stories.

Students mostly gave positive feedback about the topics covered by the short books, especially the extra texts in the end of each story. They also like the design, the difficulty level and the illustrations of the texts. Sometimes they found the ending and the conclusion too simple or unimaginative.

They liked it - "Have you any more books like those?" "Can we read another one?" They asked to do the books coming into class. "They're deadly". "I really like those..."

Would you use Rapid Plus again? Please outline why or why not?

I will certainly continue to use it. I feel I was very rushed though this year. I will go through the system in more detail during the summer. I could have used the website far more. But I think between Catch Up and this system, many literacy bases are covered in our school. It is key to tie them into the general literacy scheme within the school. Our learning support pupils are up on our literacy boards along with all their peers. They felt part of the library league, this wouldn't have happened in the past. I will use the books with more pupils also next year.

Yes, definitely. The students enjoy them; they are great for group work. They focus on a range of skills, not just reading and the teacher manual saves me time. Fantastic!

I will use Rapid Plus with second years next year as a follow on to Catch Up, which they will have done in first year or perhaps with first years who are also doing Catch Up. I may also use it with first and second year EAL students.

Yes, found it very useful to use in small groups.

Yes, it offered clear teaching guidance and high interest topics. Yes, it is ideal for small resource groups, particularly those who are ready to move on from Catch Up. It also allows groupwork and discussions and it's great to have the inbuilt worksheets for written work. It's very structured, with a variety of activties which is ideal for students who need a variety of approaches and who cannot stay on particua tasks for long periods and who need to change.Yes, content and graphics enjoyable and accessible.

If I have the chance once again to teach in English, I will consider using Rapid Plus. I reckon that these short texts can give students with poor literacy skills real success in reading. Most of the students struggle with a lack of self-confidence when they have to read out loud hence their motivation can also be poor. Rapid Plus gives them an opportunity to read full books or stories in informal, 'every day' language and involves them in discussion about actual and relevant topics. This is the reason why I think it is a quite innovative reading support system.

Pre and Post Standardised Reading Scores

In addition to using the assessments built into the Rapid Plus resource some teachers also pre and post tested students' reading ages using a standardised test i.e. the New Group Reading Test 3. What follows are pre and post reading age scores from four schools. However, it should be noted that additional literacy interventions or programmes were also used with some students in three of the schools that implemented Rapid Plus:

The NBSS would like to thank the teachers involved and their students for sharing their experiences and insights gained from implementing the Rapid Plus reading scheme.

How does the TTRS Method work?

Learners see, type, and hear text – and can pronounce target words and phrases alongside audio. The combination of diverse sensory input helps material ‘stick’ and the method makes use of modular lessons, repetition, and dictation exercises to reinforce learning

Meets diverse learning needs.

A TTRS Method course is designed for individuals with diverse learning needs, including those who struggle with learning difficulties and physical impairments

Builds confidence and self-esteem.

A TTRS Method course builds confidence and self-esteem through a gentile and manageable approach

No games.
No distractions.

A TTRS Method course is always animation and game-free to minimize distractions and ensure learning material is suitable for older children, adolescents, and adults

The TTRS Course

The TTRS Course develops a learner’s procedural knowledge of English spelling and builds phonological awareness to support reading skills. This is accomplished via a structured program of phonics embedded within 24 keyboarding lessons of 31 modules each. Most phonics courses are aimed at children but TTRS offers a more grown-up approach for older children, adolescents, and adults.

TTRS Subjects

TTRS Subject courses support vocabulary and core content learning in math, science, English and Spanish. Lessons present key vocabulary and concepts and provide opportunities to practice procedural knowledge, and build motivation and confidence.

TTRS Method courses are appropriate for learners with…

dyslexia

dysgraphia

motor skills coordination difficulties (dyspraxia)

The TTRS Course develops a learner's procedural knowledge of English spelling and builds phonological awareness to support reading skills. This is accomplished via a structured program of phonics embedded within 24 keyboarding lessons of 31 modules each. Most phonics courses are aimed at children but TTRS offers a more grown-up approach for older children, adolescents, and adults.

Valuable data

Accelerated Reader gives teachers the information they need to monitor students' reading practice and make informed decisions to guide their future learning.

A comprehensive set of reports reveals how much a student has been reading, at what level of complexity, and how well they have understood what they have read. Vocabulary growth and literacy skills are also measured, giving teachers insight into how well students have responded to reading schemes and class instruction.

The interactive Reading Dashboard allows educators to see how well students are performing at class, group and individual level. It brings together data from the Accelerated Reader and the Renaissance Star Reading assessment to allow teachers to diagnose problems and inform intervention programmes.

Key information from Star Reading and Accelerated Reader can be viewed in context with other information in Dashboards built specifically for MATs.

Significant improvement

Accelerated Reader produces "particularly positive effects" according to an independent study by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and Durham University.

"The internet-based programme increased the reading age of pupils by three additional months in just 22 weeks. The effect on low-income pupils was even greater, with their reading age improving by five additional months in the same amount of time."

Motivational quizzes

Because students receive regular feedback from Accelerated Reader, teachers and librarians are given many opportunities to praise students for their successes and to discuss with them what they have been reading.

There are four different types of Accelerated Reader quiz: Reading Practice, Recorded Voice, Vocabulary Practice, and Literacy Skills.

Appropriate challenge

Pupils develop reading skills most effectively when they read appropriately challenging books - difficult enough to keep them engaged but not so difficult that they become frustrated. This is their 'Zone of Proximal Development' (ZPD)

Text complexity is determined by the ATOS formula, which uses the text of an entire books to inform the calculation rather than just a sample as with some other formulae. As pupils are retested, their ZPD ranges increase and broaden so they continue to read suitably challenging literature.

As an alternative to the ATOS formula, Lexile® measures are also available for books with Accelerated Reader quizzes.

Extensive choice

Accelerated Reader gives students significantly greater choice in levelled books and quizzes than any comparable reading programme.

Over 40,000 reading practice quizzes are available on books from a wide selection of publishers and imprints. Independent of any publishing interests and suitable for students of primary and secondary age, AR ensures that there are plenty of books to interest every reader available on the programme.

The dedicated online book-searching tool Accelerated Reader BookFinder is publicly available to students, parents, teachers and librarians so they can identify appropriate books that are also of interest.

Best practices

Research-based recommendations underpin the best practices for Accelerated Reader implementation.

The importance of daily personalised reading practice cannot be overstated. Recent studies indicate that when students spend 25 minutes a day reading suitably challenging books which they successfully comprehend (demonstrated by achieving 90% or more on the reading practice quiz), then they will achieve optimal reading age growth. This is the power of personalised practice.

A comprehensive programme of remote and on-site training accompanies the implementation of Accelerated Reader, with additional professional development packages available on request.

Positive attitudes

The National Literacy Trust's second independent research report into the reading habits of students using Accelerated Reader has been published.

"Children and young people who use Accelerated Reader tend to enjoy reading more, do it more often and think more positively about reading than their peers who do not use Accelerated Reader. They are also more likely to see a link between reading and their successes."

Dr Christina Clark, National Literacy Trust

Narrative 4 offers educators creative tools to teach compassion and develop strong student leaders in the classroom and community.

Through our Story Exchange, Artists Network, Learning Resources, and Civic Engagement projects, Narrative 4 is creating a global network of changemakers.
We're thrilled to share NBC's TODAY show segment on N4!

Adolescent loneliness has increased in 36 countries worldwide and doubled in English-speaking countries.1

Stories combat loneliness and motivate youth to make positive changes in their communities.

We create connections and combat isolation through the power of art, education, and action

What we do

Where we work
Classrooms, student clubs,
after-school programs, and more

How we help
Story Exchanges, professional development, curriculum tools, and more

I helped launch Narrative 4 seven years ago in Chicago. It was hard to know where it would go, how fast it would grow, and how much it would be needed. But I believe then as I do now in the power of stories to shape and change the world.
Sting, N4 Music Chair

Narrative 4 is not here to change your mind. N4 tells us, 'You can hold on to the integrity of your beliefs and understand somebody else's at the same time.
Mary Slone, Educator, United States

There you are, laid bare, no mask, no finery,
just your story as simple or complicated as it may be.
What this Story Exchange taught me is that pain is universal, so is love.

Register Here

A member of our team will be in touch in the coming weeks.

If you do not receive your online Application Folder and Welcome Pack before Friday, 22nd December 2023, please contact us by emailing amberflag@pieta.ie.

Amber Flag registrations for the Academic year 2023 - 2024 will close on 1st December 2023.

Registrations will not be accepted after this date.

Who Can Participate

Primary Schools

Primary schools can offer their students the opportunity to begin their well-being journey, where they can learn the basics of positive mental health.

As per the Well-being Policy &amp Statement Framework for Practice 2018-2023 (Department of Education &amp Skills, 2018), promoting the well-being of our children and young people is a shared community responsibility.

Schools can play a major role in enhancing protective factors and minimising risks.

Primary school subjects such as Aistear, SPHE, Arts Education and PE, as well as others, can be good places to start the children on their well-being journey and will help in gaining an Amber Flag.

Secondary Schools

Further Education and Training Centres

Youthreach

Youthreach is an ideal setting for the Amber Flag as there is a strong emphasis on personal development and the individual needs of students.

The Youthreach curriculum focuses not just on the academic but equally on vocational and soft skills development.

Most Youthreach are doing subjects such as SPHE, Sports, Art, Design and Mixed Media, Drama etc., all of which can help to build self-confidence and self-esteem which leads to positive mental health.

Many Youthreach are already doing the foundation work for the Amber Flag so it would be great if their efforts were awarded at a national level.

Third Level

Clubs and Organisations

Clubs and Organisations are the perfect opportunity to promote positive mental health.

The ethos of many clubs and organisations are teamwork and participation.

Through these, clubs and organisations can illustrate what it's members can do to educate and reduce stigma around mental health.

By having an Amber Flag awarded to them, clubs and organisations are showing their communities the importance they place on promoting positive mental health.

How To Achieve Your Flag

1. Complete the Registration Form for Amber Flag Registration 2023 - 24. The closing date for registrations is 1st December 2023.

2. Create an Amber Flag Committee with a cross-section of students/service users/club members/staff.

3. Carry out an audit on what has already been done to promote positive mental health.

4. Set and complete a minimum of 3 mental health awareness goals. See some Sample Goals &amp Activities.

5. Submit the completed Amber Flag Application by the closing date, along with evidence of the goals achieved. See our Coordinators' Checklist.

6. Receive a physical flag and a digital certificate and badge.

7. Maintain Amber Flag initiatives.

8. Apply for Amber Flag Renewal.

Check out our 2023/2024 Information Booklet for more details.

About Amber Flag

Pieta's Amber Flag initiative celebrates communities that create healthy, supportive, and inclusive environments by promoting mental well-being. The initiative is open to primary and secondary schools, Youthreach, third-level, further education and training centres, clubs and other organisations.

Whether you're a teacher looking to implement a whole school initiative, a community leader looking to make an impact or an organisation committed to supporting the mental health of your members, there's a place for you within our Amber Flag community.

Amber Flag Vision

Promoting positive mental health and well-being in communities through shared participation, knowledge, and empowerment.

Amber Flag Objectives

1. Promoting Positive Mental Health

2. Enhancing inclusivity through teamwork and social support

3. Reducing risk factors through increased awareness and education

4. Improving quality of life for those with mental health challenges

Background

The Amber Flag initiative is in its 9th year. 516 Amber Flags were awarded in June 2023 to schools, clubs, and organisations all over Ireland. Once a flag is awarded, it is placed in a prominent position outside, flying at full mast, acknowledging the great achievement.

In response to the waves of refugees from Africa and the Middle East arriving in the Italian island, Lampedusa, IBBY launched the project "Silent Books, from the world to Lampedusa and back" in 2012. The project involved creating the first library on Lampedusa to be used by local and immigrant children, www.facebook.com/BiblioLampedusa/

The second part required creating a collection of silent books (wordless picture books) that could be understood and enjoyed by children regardless of language. These books were collected from IBBY National Sections, over one hundred books from over twenty countries. This set of books was deposited at the documentation and research archive in Rome (Palazzo della Esposizioni), a set delivered to the library in Lampedusa and a further set was part of a travelling exhibition.

There are, to date, four collections of Silent Books: the Silent Books Collection 2013 (110 books), the Silent Books Collection 2015 (51 books), the Silent Books Collection 2017 (79 books) and the Silent Books Collection 2019 (67 books). Within each collection there is a selection of Honour Books. Each of the collections has toured as an exhibition at various venues in Italy and all over the world, as well as being displayed at the Bologna Book Fair and at the IBBY Congresses in New Zealand and Greece.

As part of this project, IBBY Italia has compiled 10 tips for reading silent books in a community that does not speak a common language, which can be seen here. IBBY Sweden has also produced a booklet giving ideas about how to use the Silent Books with children. The booklet, Silent books, a handbook on wordless picture books packed with narrative power, can be downloaded here.

Resources for Ukraine Families from The Wheel 

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The humanitarian situation in Ukraine is deteriorating rapidly with millions of people already displaced and in desperate need of aid. Irish charities, community groups and NGOs are working around the clock both in Ireland and abroad to assist people affected by the crisis.

The Wheel is in contact with various Government Departments and State agencies to ensure that local charities and community groups are supported to assist people who may be arriving in Ireland from Ukraine.

Here is a list of resources that may be of use to anyone who is in contact with people arriving from Ukraine.

Local Response

Community Response Forums have been established in every local authority area to coordinate local responses to the Ukraine crisis. Building on structures and relationships which were highly effective during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Community Response Fora will enable all those involved to work together under the stewardship of the local authority. Supplementing the support and services being provided by government agencies at a local level, the purpose will be to ensure effective communication and information sharing in the coordination of local community and voluntary actions in providing community supports to the new Ukrainian communities.
Contact your local Community Response Forum
The Government has created a one-stop online portal at www.gov.ie/ukraine, which outlines the various supports available to people arriving from the conflict in Ukraine. The portal is also available in Ukranian and Russian.
Supports for those arriving from Ukraine - Dept. of Social Protection Information Sheet (updated 25 April)
The Irish Refugee Council has guidance in English and Ukrainian for people displaced by the crisis.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, created the website for refugees, asylum seekers and stateless persons in Ireland. The website is also available in Ukrainian

Keep an eye on the website of the Central Statistics Office for regular updates on the number of refugee arrivals in Ireland from Ukraine - visit the CSO website now.

A group of Ireland's leading media organisations have come together to form an unprecedented coalition, and so have launched a public fundraising campaign, 'Ireland for Ukraine'.

The campaign aims to raise vital funds for those affected by the conflict, as well as those who have been displaced. The campaign is inspired by the incredible level of public support from Ireland for Ukraine to date.

The initiative will feature across local and national radio, television, print and online media, with all proceeds received by registered charity The Community Foundation for Ireland, who have 22 years' experience in philanthropy and grant making.

50% of the funds collected will be distributed to the Irish Red Cross, Concern, UNICEF and Trocaire. The other 50% will be pooled into a fund for grant aid applications available to Irish organisations and local groups assisting the anticipated 200,000 incoming people who have been forced to flee Ukraine and are seeking the safety of our communities in Ireland.
Donations can be made online at www.irelandforukraine.ie or by the Revolut app.
The Irish Red Cross is coordinating a register of private accommodation for refugees. You can pledge a vacant property or spare room at https://registerofpledges.redcross.ie/#/

People seeking international protection who are already in Ireland and have nowhere to stay can email the International Protection Accommodation Service (IPAS) at

As families across the UK welcome Ukrainian refugees into their homes in response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis, primary and secondary schools are now enrolling pupils from Ukraine into all year groups. Teachers will be looking for appropriate dual language books and resources to support children in learning English and integrating into school life in the UK.

We at Badger Learning have been thinking about what we can do to support children arriving from Ukraine and have decided to translate and publish a range of six dual language English-Ukrainian eBook PDFs for schools and families. We have consulted with our authors and commissioned professional translators to work on these books so we can offer them to schools and families to download free of charge. These are suitable for children in KS2 and KS3 (ages 8-14) and are ideal learning resources to support children in building fluency in reading in English.

The text on the left-hand page is in English with the right-hand page in Ukrainian. Comprehension is supported by appealing illustrations and simple, controlled language that has been carefully levelled for a reading age of no higher than eight. The files can be read on any device that accepts PDFs or can be printed out onto paper. Each book includes a dual language vocabulary list at the front and will be accompanied by an additional simple vocabulary list of commonly used words in both English and Ukrainian (Cyrillic), with a phonetic guide to pronunciation for English speakers.

These free eBooks have been selected from our extensive range of hi-lo books and have been designed to be accessible to EAL readers. The titles were selected especially with refugee children in mind, featuring positive stories and non-fiction with a wide appeal that avoids potentially triggering subject matter. These books are expertly levelled and use simple short sentences and controlled language - ideal for language learning. We have used a native Ukrainian translator who is experienced in producing high-quality dual language transcripts, ensuring children have the best possible experience when reading these texts.

These books can be used in a variety of ways with Ukrainian pupils and their English-speaking teachers and peers. Here are a few suggestions:

Ask the child to read the Ukrainian text through first, and if their English skills are at an appropriate level, they could try the English text next.

Depending on their age and understanding they could draw or write some notes about the story (a synopsis or a favourite character for instance).

Ask the child to spot any words they know in the English text and find the Cyrillic equivalent.

Use the phrasebook and pair up children with a buddy. Can they find a word from the phrasebook in the story and its English or Ukrainian translation? Could they try writing as many of these out as they can and practise speaking them to each other? Use a highlighter to spot familiar words, pop some on post-its and stick them around the classroom.

Could you invite a Ukrainian parent in to help share the book with the class? The teacher could read the English page and the parent the Ukrainian page - if they feel ready of course.

Print these out as large as you can or display them electronically on an interactive whiteboard, so children can see and compare the different scripts used.

Read through the vocabulary list at the front of the book. See how many of these words you can find/read in the text.

Play book charades: instruct children to act out a character/event from the story for others to guess and match to the book.

Keyword snap: write out keywords in English from the dual language book onto pieces of paper. Invite the child to pick a piece of paper and read/match the word to the corresponding page in the book.

Memory game: print some (or all) of the pages from the book, shuffle them up and ask the child to put them into the correct order. Cover the page numbers to make this activity even more challenging.

Pictionary: instruct children to draw pictures of keywords/phrases from the dual-language text for their partner to guess. The book can be close to hand for reference.

Who Am I game: instruct children to write out character names/animals from the dual language book onto post-its. Mix them up and get each child to stick one to their forehead, without looking at the name. Then they can ask simple questions to find out who/what they are.

Rewrite/draw/talk about a different ending for one of the stories or think about what might happen next.

Give the book to a child to just enjoy at home or in class. Spending time in a new school is exhausting and they may just need a quiet moment to read something in their own language that is absorbing and fun.

Thank you to our authors for generously supporting this project: Lynda Gore, Anne Rooney, Johnny Zucker, Jane West, Clare Lawrence and Simon Chapman.

We are absolutely thrilled that our eBook PDFs for Ukrainian pupils have been shortlisted for the Teach Secondary Award 2023 in the free resources category! You can download all 6 dual language eBooks here absolutely free.
