The Quality Holistic Learning Project (QHL), of which this face-to-face workshop is one element, aims to prepare educators to deliver high-quality lessons which support holistic learning for children and youths of diverse backgrounds (refugee, migrant, and/or citizen) within host country, displacement, and crisis contexts. They define quality holistic learning as that which attends to:

• academic, cognitive, and identity development,
• social and emotional learning, and
• mental/psychosocial and physical well-being and which delivers: positive schooling experiences, ● feelings of belonging and safety, growth and development, and equitable outcomes for all learners.

Play is an easy, natural and universal practice that builds resilience. Play comes naturally to all children- and is a seemingly simple and light-hearted phenomenon. The power of play as a pathway to building resilience needs to be leveraged to provide children with the opportunity to further explore play in their home and school environments.

This toolkit is therefore premised on the objectives to build the capacity of various stakeholders such as caregivers/teachers, school managers, curriculum planners and policy makers who are key actors in the process of growth and development of children. It is also aimed at equipping these stakeholders with the knowledge and pedagogical skills to translate research, policy and curriculum to practical knowledge and activities for children in the school environment. The toolkit offers directions for facilitators who will be working with caregivers/teachers using the materials and resources provided and other relevant materials available in an environment where it will be used.

Art, music and drama have had a pivotal role in the livelihood of human beings. This is clear by the wealth of literature, architecture, fine art, theater and music that define human past, present and future. The inherent creative ability and a yearning to express ourselves is what gives value to art, music and drama as companion components in human evolution. 

This teacher's guide covers art, music, dance, drama, experiential learning, community engagement, and how to integrate these aspects into curriculum. Additionally, this document provides lesson plans for primary school students in these subject areas. 

This publication has been designed both for new and experienced teachers, as well as other professionals working in non-formal education settings that engage with upper primary and secondary students.  

Purpose: 

1.By using principles of GCED, digital citizenship, and media and information literacy, the guidelines aim to build the capacities of teachers to prepare learners to understand the implications of global and digital transformations on education, and to build opportunities to practice ethical and responsible behaviours in physical and digital environments. They provide guidance on tapping into the positive potential of the digital transformation, including through new access to information, possibilities of connection, and the creation of tailored content.  

2. Build learners’ capacities to think critically about the influences and content that they encounter and engage in creating in physical and digital spaces. 

3. Shape learners’ understanding of global challenges and how they can contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through globally oriented digital citizenship.

This is UNESCO's first resource with a regional focus on teaching to prevent atrocity crimes. It was developed with the United Nations and in partnership with the UNESCO International Institute for Capacity Building in Africa (IICBA). The guide was informed by exchanges with African stakeholders and advisors and tested through a piloting exercise with African teachers and students. It provides principles for teachers to consider in facilitating learning and constructive discussions with their students.
