Unlocking Doors to Opportunity
A guide to effectively teaching refugee children.
Last year, our leaders Mollie Mei and David Hong worked with professors from HKU, CUHK, and Yalova University to synthesize a research manual outlining theories behind refugee motivation, strategies to better engage with refugee children, tips on how to decide what to teach, and methods to support children’s mental and emotional health. The manual has been distributed to organizations in Turkey and Hong Kong, including the Kellett Foundation, Refugee Union, Children’s Reading Club.
About our Research Manual
David Hong & Mollie Mei
This manual was only possible with the voluntary help and expertise of various university professors. We thank each of them immensely for their help and kind assistance!
