In
October 2019 as the UK RAN representative, I attended a thought provoking and emotional
meeting on the impact of trauma on refugee children in Zagreb, Croatia. Representatives from
child centred institutions across Europe attended this event.
The first day was spent identifying the issues and hearing about the types of trauma that children
experience when leaving their normal setting, on their journey and finally when they arrive in another
country as a refugee. It was a moving experience which I will never forget. The second day was one of
hope looking at practical strategies to help refugee children overcome this trauma. The focus was on
what education and schools can do to help these children. The primary contributor was a Dutch colleague
who has set up a programme and training for teachers to support refugee children in dealing with trauma.
It was a reminder that education is about more than just academic qualifications and of the impact that
good education can have on children.
In October 2019 I was invited by the European Union to co-chair the education section of the annual
plenary meeting in Brussels. The plenary meeting reviews the past year and sets the agenda for the
coming year. It brings together practitioners and policy makers from around Europe to review the
progress being made in combatting radicalisation. This year a particular focus was the rise of far right
extremism.
It remains a privilege to be part of a network working hard to overcome the many challenges we face
as a global society in the 21st century.
