Action for Education

We are very excited to share with you our updates from July to September! actionforeducation.org/read-our-lates… #Ojalá continues to grow online, with more than 26000 lessons completed in 3 months. Meanwhile, #TheNest registered many new families and hosted a special visit from a famous singer!

This week we attended the first Transnational Partners Meeting in Gothenburg, Sweden, for the project “#MentorMe - Mobility Mentors for #refugees in Europe”. The project will create a #European #support #network that fosters cross-border #volunteering for young refugees.

Check out our #ImpactReport! #September is always a busy month: it marks the end of the holidays and the return to #school. At #ActionforEducation, we continued our projects over the #summer but September was still busier than the 2 previous months.

There are only a few hours left to participate in our #LittlebyLittle fundraising campaign! globalgiving.org/projects/afe-s… This week, we’ve shared a number of small actions that make a big difference in The Nest. From cleaning the space to reading a book and everything in between.

We have been pretty quiet on our social media this month, but our projects have continued to thrive and here are our updates!

Amidst the #summer heat and #Greek #school #holidays, #TheNest recorded the highest number of attendances in five months. Meanwhile, ¡#Ojalá! continues to grow online. New users continue to download the #app and complete thousands of #lessons.

We are proud to announce our collaboration with @ProfedeELE! They will share ¡#Ojalá!’s content to #Spanish teachers so they can teach #students without #literacy skills more easily. Read our #article for more information on this partnership: actionforeducation.org/providing-lear…

In this second #QuarterlyReport of 2022, you can read the news from our #educationprojects in #Spain and #Greece but also updates of the situation for #PeopleOnTheMove in those two countries during the past three months. actionforeducation.org/read-our-repor…

#June #ImpactReport Our #spanish learning #app, ¡Ojalá!, has been downloaded by more than a 1000 users since it became available just a few months ago. In #Athens, The Nest registered new #refugee and #asylumseeking families and #children

Last week, we attended the #SchoolsForAll conference in #Athens, to discuss the integration of #refugee #children in Greek #schools. It was a great experience listening and talking to #educators who have invested their time and energy in this during the past 3 years.

Last week was #WorldRefugeeWeek. Our team took it as an opportunity to highlight issues with access to #education for #asylum seekers and #refugees in #Greece, to discuss AFE’s actions to address them, and the benefits of access to non-formal education. actionforeducation.org/world-refugee-…

#Learning a new #language is more than just developing a new skill. It can help our families to navigate a new environment and support their integration into the local community. Help us to continue providing learning opportunities to people on the move: bit.ly/3zPGD5e
