The Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) is pleased to invite you to the second MENA regional workshop on Psychosocial Support and Social and Emotional Learning (PSS-SEL) in emergencies!

One key area that emerged from the first workshop was the urgent need to better support teachers’ well-being in crisis-affected contexts. In response, INEE is holding a follow-up workshop on teacher well-being, which will build on the foundational PSS SEL workshop and respond directly to the needs and priorities identified by INEE members.

This workshop will be offered in English and Arabic:

Who should attend this workshop?

  • Teachers,
  • Practitioners and actors working closely with teachers,
  • Representatives from Ministries of Education working directly on teachers wellbeing
  • Wider EiE sector actors engaged in teacher well-being

What you will gain?

This session will focus on practical approaches and collective reflection to strengthen teacher well-being as a core component of quality education in crisis and emergency settings. During the workshop, participants will:

  • Gain a clearer understanding of teacher wellbeing in crisis and emergency contexts.
  • Reflect on the key stressors affecting teachers in the MENA region and how these impact teaching, learning, and learner wellbeing.
  • Explore the connection between teacher wellbeing, PSS-SEL, safe learning spaces, and quality education in emergencies.
  • Learn practical strategies for supporting teachers at individual, peer, school, organizational, community, and system levels.
  • Share experiences and learn from other education actors working in similar crisis-affected contexts.
  • Identify realistic actions they can take forward to strengthen teacher wellbeing in their own programmes, schools, or organizations.
  • Access relevant INEE resources and tools to support continued learning and action on teacher wellbeing.
