The Coalition for Educational Development successfully conducted a capacity-building programme for youth on “Education in Emergencies”. This initiative workshop was held via Zoom on 22nd July 2025.
This first session brought together youth representatives from across all districts through our active member organizations, uniting to explore the critical theme of Education in Emergencies (EiE).
Mr. Shantha Kulathunge, National Coordinator, delivered a summary of the discussion, emphasizing the need for inclusive education and emergency response mechanisms to protect learning in times of crisis.
Ms. Rangani Lakmali, Programme Coordinator, and other participants shared their experiences and expressed a strong commitment to collaborative efforts aimed at overcoming the educational challenges faced by vulnerable communities.
The session ended on a hopeful note, with participants expressing gratitude and enthusiasm for the upcoming sessions and future partnerships.
Stay tuned as we continue this impactful series with a physical workshop and youth-led advocacy using tools and strategies designed to ensure no learner is left behind—even in emergencies!
