Introduction to Asset Based Pedagogies in Displacement Contexts Workshops Facilitation Guide

This manual is intended to support the delivery of one full day workshop on the topic of supporting Quality Holistic Learning in crisis contexts through the implementation of asset-based pedagogical tools and activities and through sustaining safe and secure learning spaces. The workshops are the result of the insightful contributions of a committed team of teachers and educators from Kenya, Lebanon, and Niger.

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. We 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.
