Building Refugee Youth Resilience, Voice, and Expression through Wellbeing Pedagogy
Zaharah Namanda; Rebecca S. Levine; Amy V. Bintliff
Childhood Education, v100 n1 p44-47 2024
Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees of any country in Africa. To protect the rights of refugees in the country, Uganda has designed policies regarding the right to quality education participation and freedom of expression. The authors' non-profit organization, Africa Education & Leadership Initiative (Africa ELI), works with refugee youth to increase their ability to achieve their dreams and reach their potential. However, refugee education in Uganda faces a number of challenges. Additionally, Uganda continues to have education policies that are not fully inclusive of refugees, such as the English-only policy that establishes English as the only language taught and valued within the school setting. The Wellbeing Club, was designed to support refugee and local Ugandan youth to help them build their resilience, voice, and expression. The Wellbeing Club is a powerful idea to support the wellbeing of learners, teachers, and, ultimately, the parents and community.
