Over 3,000 students, including refugees from Ukraine, will learn at school how to overcome situations of crisis or stress, which will contribute to increasing their academic achievements. Starting this October, students and teachers from schools across the country will take part in the \u201cBetter Learning Programme \/BLP\/ \u2013 2\u201d. The programme aims to provide essential support to students during and after difficult experiences, involving both teachers and parents in the process of educational recovery.<\/p>\n
In this context, on August 20-23, a specialized training of 18 trainers in BLP-2 will take place in Chisinau.<\/p>\n
According to the country director of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) Jacopo Caridi, BLP-2 is a follow-up of the successful initiative of BLP-1, launched in the Republic of Moldova in 2022, in the context of the humanitarian crisis and the large flow of refugee children. \u201cThis new phase will introduce a complete kit of tools and resources to ensure positive educational experience for all students, regardless of the challenges they face. We are committed, with the help of our partners, to providing the resources and support needed to enable students to excel both academically and emotionally. BLP-2 is an example of our clear commitment to support the education and the personal development of young generations,\u201d Mr. Caridi said.<\/p>\n
Ana Palii, project coordinator from \u201cPartnerships for Every Child\u201d declared, \u201cThis programme is the next step in our commitment to support the success and well-being of students. We want to create an environment where students, teachers and parents work together effectively to overcome educational and emotional challenges. BLP-2 provides teachers, parents and students with a set of effective tools to improve learning skills, increase concentration, contribute to homework, and increase resilience and positive thinking in the classroom and at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
BLP-1 included over 7,000 children from 25 schools in Chisinau, Cahul and Balti. In addition, 20 national trainers and 365 teachers from the 25 schools and 93 teachers from all district\/municipal psycho-pedagogical assistance services were trained. Moreover, 16 national trainers were trained in the \u201cTeachers in Crisis Contexts\u201d programme that reached 280 teachers.<\/p>\n
The training event was organized by the Norwegian Refugee Council in collaboration with NGO \u201cPartnerships for Every Child\u201d, with the financial support of the Norwegian Agency for Cooperation and Development.<\/p>\n
