Education in Emergencies

About

The course introduces participants to the field of EIE, which lies at the intersection of educational sciences and humanitarian action. As highlighted in SDG 4 (Quality Education: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all), providing education during conflict, protracted crises, or climate-induced disasters is essential. Unfortunately, many regions worldwide face such challenges, making EIE increasingly significant within the international community.

This summer school will enable participants to understand the position of EIE within the humanitarian and educational landscapes. It will provide insights into its methods, practices, and inherent challenges.

Throughout the program, the summer school emphasizes the critical intersection between humanitarian action and academic research. Participants will benefit from lectures delivered by experts from international organizations and academia
