Emergency pedagogy teaches “how education professionals can support children who have experienced traumatic events.”
This is what the teacher of the free Education for Peace course Reinaldo Nascimento explains, CNN Radio on CNN Education.
He remembers that young people who go through unexpected events that shake up their lives have, at the same time, to resume their daily activities, such as school, “despite the difficulties.”
According to the expert, there are different levels of trauma, from the “major” ones such as wars and earthquakes, which “shake the psychological”, to those events of lesser magnitude, but which also impact life.
“We have had cases of children being scared because they witnessed a pressure cooker explode or saw someone being beaten on the street, everything affects their emotions,” he said.
To help these children and adolescents, Reinaldo said that a profile of each of them is drawn up, the context in which they live, and who they interact with.
