“Despite longing for home and school, children in temporary shelters continue to learn and play together to reduce stress”
Children are studying in a temporary learning space inside an evacuation camp. This space was created because families had to flee their homes after the conflict started again. The children sit close together on the ground, focusing on their drawings and schoolwork, trying to keep learning even in this unstable situation.
For these children, this classroom is more than just a place to study—it is a source of comfort and hope. The conflict stopped their schooling and took away their sense of safety, daily routine, and emotional stability. Parents and teachers noticed that many children became quieter, more afraid, and had more trouble concentrating due to prolonged displacement and ongoing stress.
Still, the picture shows their resilience and determination. Even though they have been away from school for a long time and far from home, these temporary learning spaces help bring back a sense of normal life. They give children a chance to learn again, express themselves, and feel safer during a very uncertain time.
