One hundred professionals trained in the implementation of the “Better Learning Programme” to support students in crisis

Tuesday, August 23, 2022

Over one hundred employees of district/municipal Psycho-Pedagogical Assistance Services throughout the country will become local trainers for the implementation in the Moldovan schools of the “Better Learning Programme” (BLP) to support students in crisis. To this end, the professionals are trained during two days by 15 national trainers to acquire mentoring skills in the implementation of BLP sessions at local level.

BLP is a psychosocial support programme that can be integrated into educational programmes in contexts of crisis, including humanitarian. The programme uses a holistic approach to support children's recovery from traumatic events experienced during conflicts or the impact of displacement on both displaced and host communities by improving learning conditions. It mobilises children’s support network with the aim of restoring a sense of normalcy and hope. BLP is implemented in 26 countries and research shows that participation in the programme helps children improve their ability to understand their emotions, to communicate them and self-regulate, thus improving their wellbeing.

The training is delivered by NGO “Partnerships for every child” in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Research and the Republican Psycho-Pedagogical Assistance Centre within the project “Improving the wellbeing of children: Better Learning Programme for the training of education professionals”, supported financially by the Norwegian Refugee Council.
