<div dir="ltr">Dear colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Very interesting, thanks a lot for sharing the link and report ! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have been working last year on an educational project in Zaatari camp, in higher education (the Jamiya project), teaching computer science at the university level in collaboration with Götenburg university. One barrier of course to learning was English,
so Jamiya decided to give the course in Arabic, and to introduce step by step courses in English. As described by the students, reconnecting to education in the conditions of the camp was not an easy task, and everything takes more time than we imagined in
the local conditions. However, language and education here are more than learning useful skills, it is a matter of freedom, reconnecting to life outside the camp, and to a valuable future. So very important to support these kinds of programs, although it is
not easy to fund ! (any further reflection, potential collaboration or advice in this field will be greatly appreciated)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
