With the situation in Ukraine actively evolving, the number of refugees that flee the country is increasing.
This has a big impact on mental health, especially on kids that aren’t mature enough to understand the problem and cope with it.
When schools in Ukraine were still open before attacks, children had to wear stickers identifying their blood types in case of bombings.
They also had war lessons that aimed to prepare them for the worst. You can only imagine how hard it is to cope with that when you have a whole life in front of you.
UNHCR, the UN’s refugee agency, predicts that about 4 million people may attempt to flee Ukraine.
All Ukrainian universities are closed. Many male students and teachers are taking arms and women are sheltering in the western part of the country or crossing the border to safe countries.
Fortunately, educational institutions and universities all around the world are rallying together so they could support Ukrainian refugees and ensure that their education will continue.
Except for temporal transfer, a lot of institutions are also offering free English language and cultural preparation courses for Ukrainian students.
