Adolescents in Humanitarian Contexts is an interactive module designed by Save the Children in the Middle East and Eastern Europe Regional Office, to support practitioners working with adolescent girls and boys in humanitarian contexts. This module is based on regional and global evidence on good practices and approaches working with adolescents in humanitarian contexts. It is tailored for practitioners working in the Middle East and North Africa region, but has global application. It will take about 3 hours to complete. We hope the module will become a reference material for our daily work with adolescents.

The module is available in Arabic and English.
