At the end of 2022, a record number of approximately 108.4 million individuals, including 43.3 million children, were forcibly displaced. Forced displacement occurs when people flee their homes due to various factors, including wars, conflict, persecution, natural disasters driven by the escalating climate crisis, and economic instability.

This Educator Brief is designed to give educators the knowledge and tools they need to effectively support displaced children and to learn effective strategies to provide them with the support they need to thrive.
