Humanitarian Emergencies

Este trabajo de la Unicef, desarrolla un guía para el entendimiento y
abordaje de situaciones de desastres y crisis humanitarias, en función de
proteger a la población mas vulnerable como son los niños. Esto a través de
líneas transversales curriculares, en niveles de educación inicial.

Humanitarian crises, either in the form of natural disasters like floods
and earthquakes, or complex human-induced situations like armed conflicts
and industrial accidents, illustrate the full spectrum between human
suffering and human resilience.

When the earth violently shakes leaving dust where homes and buildings once
stood or when long simmering tensions overflow into devastating armed
conflict – lives are changed forever.

Teachers are challenged to convey the hardship and complexity associated
with humanitarian emergencies to their students. These elementary and
secondary educational resources support teachers’ efforts with
age-appropriate activities that encourage students to explore their
reactions to these crises, develop empathy and understanding, and see
themselves as global citizens with an ability to act. Students are moved
along this continuum towards action in order to complete learning, develop
their global citizenship skills and inspire a continued desire to learn
about the world around them.
