The urban context offers unique opportunities and miseries for refugee children.

Over 60% of displaced people are now living in urban contexts. Humanitarian workers have focused on fine tuning the design and implementation of interventions for displaced children in camps. These interventions cannot be cloned and new innovation is needed in the urban context. Specific family – not child - focused strategies and interventions will be presented in this webinar. These interventions help to empower families so that parents have positive attitudes and responsibly guide their children to find opportunities and live safely in the urban context despite its challenges and disappointments.
