My Voice My School
Welcome to
|
My Voice-My School is an education project which empowers Palestine refugee children by giving them a voice and the opportunity to communicate with their peers overseas on issues dear to them. For the last four years, it has put children at the heart of the conversation on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 ‘Quality Education’ and what it means to them.
My Voice-My School is a joint project between UNRWA and Digital Explorer. It reflects the principles and practices of the UNRWA education reform and its Education in Emergencies Programme through its focus on student participation. Students are encouraged to share ideas about teaching, learning, and the use of technology in the classroom.
