EU4YOUTH - POST-CONFLICT EDUCATION AND TRAUMA-INFORMED PEDAGOGY PROGRAMME (2024-2025)

Project title: ‘Post-Conflict Education And Trauma-Informed Pedagogy Programme’

Coordinator: Vytautas Magnus University

National Coordinator: Dragomanov Ukrainian State University

Implementation period: 2024-2025

Project Description: The project is implemented with the CPVA campaign (Lithuania, Vilnius). The Post-Conflict Education and Trauma-informed Pedagogy Programme is distinguished by its comprehensive approach to post-conflict education, combining both direct psychological support and long-term educational reforms. It not only addresses the needs of teachers and students to overcome traumatic experiences and crisis situations but also emphasizes the creation of a safe and inclusive learning environment. This program is unique because it is incorporated into the long-term curricula of new teacher training and in-service training, ensuring that trauma-informed pedagogy becomes a fundamental aspect of teacher training. This approach is being implemented through pilot courses and large-scale trainings to ensure that theoretical knowledge is effectively applied. Through effective management and quality control measures, the programme aims to sustain and widely disseminate best practices, significantly contributing to the resilience and recovery of Ukraine's education sector in the face of the current war.
