Innovative Education: Play-based pedagogy for refugee children
Challenge
The Dzaleka refugee camp faces significant education challenges, including inadequate pedagogical methods, overcrowded classrooms, and a lack of specialized support for children with disabilities.
Solution
RELON Malawi – a consortium of three refugee-led organizations – will implement play-based pedagogy, a child-centered learning method focused on playful activities and games to enhance education quality and inclusivity.
Impact
The project will benefit up to 1,300 children and 50 teachers. It is designed to rekindle the desire for education among refugee children, enhance their holistic development, and promote inclusion of children with disabilities.
