Supported by Theirworld, activity packs are provided to refugee children in Greece to help them deal with stress and anxiety as well as developing their skills and creativity.
Theirworld working with Refugee Trauma Initiative (RTI) prepare packs including:
- watercolor paints
- colored pens
- other craft materials
RTI have early childhood care programmes called Baytna (Arabic: “our home”) that focus on children up to 6 years old by giving them emotional support and high-quality early years education.
There is also a community-led children’s space at Polikastro in Central Macedonia that opened after the schools closed. Their work is funded by the players of the Dutch Postcode Lottery. From this support, the projects for refugee children in the Greek Aegean Islands, as well as innovative pilot programmes for out-of-school children and youth are also supported.
