This project aims to enhance the integration of Venezuelan refugee and migrant children, especially girls, and children that face marginalization and/or vulnerability in targeted host communities into the education systems of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Project activities include: (1) providing catch up, remedial and flexible learning programmes for out of school children and children who are behind their learning due to school closures to help increase their access to quality learning opportunities; (2) providing mentoring actions for school directors and pedagogical, gender-responsive education training for teachers; (3) providing children, especially girls, with learning equipment (such as connectivity) for continuity of online education at home; and (4) providing psychosocial and pedagogical support to children and adolescents upon reintegration and continuity in the education system. The project seeks to directly benefit Venezuelan refugee and migrant children and vulnerable host community children, especially girls, and teachers, other education personnel, and authorities from the Ministries of Education in each country. Parents and caregivers of the direct beneficiaries will also benefit from the implementation of the project’s activities.
