Children from Refugee & Migrant Backgrounds SIG

CREC has supported the EECERA Special Interest Group: Children from refugee or migrant backgrounds whilst they have been engaged in an international research project.

A small group of international colleagues have partnered with Good Chance and were funded by the Froebel Trust to create the Inclusive Toolkit for Refugee and Migrant Children: A resource for Early Childhood and Care Settings. It aims to raise awareness and improve provision to support refugee and migrant children in early years settings. The toolkit offers activities and ideas for both host and refugee children to help them connect with kindness, consider their homes, the people who are special to them as well as introducing issues around migration. It has been trialled in Turkey, Greece, Australia, England, and Poland. The pedagogy on offer is sensitive, inclusive and trauma informed.
