As part of the ‘youth empowerment and socio-psychological support of Palestinian children’ program, the Palestinian Human Rights Foundation (SHAHED) conducted last week a training session in the southern city of Tyre on methods of early childhood development. The 2-day workshop, funded by UNICEF, targeted a group of kindergarten teachers and a number of women social workers in the domain of child protection, with demonstrations and input from trainer Maha Hudruj. At the end of the course, the beneficiaries received a certification of participation and a set of toolkits that help in working with children. (Al Mustaqbal, August 1, 2016)
