Tasks of school and teachers in times of refugees’ crisis

Summary/Abstract: Education in emergency and extremely difficult situations, during prolonged crises, is not only an opportunity for children and young people to acquire knowledge, skills, contributes to their development, but also strengthens their resistance to stress and negative emotions. Moreover, well organized and delivered education could also provide direct physical and mental protection and could also be a source of life saving knowledge and skills. One of the main tasks of carrying out organized educational activities at an early stage of a crisis situation is to reduce the psychosocial impact of traumatic experiences on the mental condition of young people. Disturbances in everyday functioning, in stability, loss of home and often loss of parents or friends, and uncertainty, which are inextricably linked to the situation in which refugees find themselves, can adversely affect the physical, intellectual, mental and social development of children and youth. The priority task of the school and the teachers working in it in the era of the refugees’ crisis is not only the necessity to ensure the development of Ukrainian children and youth, to create educational experiences that prevent exclusion, but also and perhaps above all – to provide hope for a better future and a sense of security and relative normality
