October Education in Emergencies Community Call
October 15, 2024
Join us for October's Education in Emergencies Community call - 'The Role of Education in Disaster Prevention’ - to mark 2024's International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. Children are the most vulnerable population during and after any disaster - but children are more than victims of disasters. Children have an important leadership role to play in reducing risk, by collaborating with governments, schools and communities, and sharing their critical skills, individual experiences and ideas for solutions.
During this call we'll be:
- learning from an external DRR/EiE expert;
- sharing insights on the critical role that schools play in disaster prevention;
- discussing the role of teachers/schools in building the preparedness of children;
- exchanging ideas on how to empower students to understand and act on the risks they face.
This call will take on October 15th and will have 2 call options
Option 1: 8:00am GMT
Option 2: 3:00PM GMT

This online, self-paced program has been designed to help learners explore how education systems are impacted by unexpected crises, such as war or natural disasters. This 'EiE' online course is made up of 5 modules that address the foundations of emergency education, including virtual visits to explore teaching and learning inside real crisis-affected classrooms.
The objective is to build a foundational knowledge of EiE and to hear directly from students and teachers who have been caught up in crises. By the end of this course, we hope that participants will have a better understanding of how Teach For All network partners have responded to different emergencies, and learn more about the principles which guide our network’s approach to working in humanitarian contexts
This self-paced online course is open to all network staff members, participants and alumni.

The Teach For All + Oak Foundation Inclusive Education Course invites innovative teachers and teacher coaches from across our global network and beyond to join an interactive course focused on inclusive education for learners with disabilities and learning differences.
The course centers on who learners are aware (understand the social, political and cultural context in which students learn and grow, including cultural identities and systemic injustices) and how they learn (agency; taking responsibility for one’s learning and believing in one’s ability to determine a life path and impact others).
Through this course, we will individually and collectively reflect on Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy, Universal Design for Learning, and Metacognition to support us in creating reimagined and inclusive environments that allow every child to shine and create a better world for themselves and all of us.
