The integration and improvement of educational programming for newcomer children and youth from refugee and war-affected backgrounds is one of the priorities of Manitoba’s growth strategy and a key aspect of the province’s future and collective well-being. In 2005, Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning developed and released an action plan that was intended to improve the nature and quality of educational programs and supports for learners from English as a second language and immigrant backgrounds. An important part of this action plan was the recognition that learners from refugee and war-affected backgrounds, in particular, needed greater attention and would benefit from the development of appropriate programming and supports and access to these. Manitoba Education and Advanced Learning recognized that the provision of a real opportunity to obtain an appropriate education for those whose education was disrupted or denied by war, conflict, and other factors is one of the most important things that may be offered to these young people. In the research literature on child soldiers, and war-affected and refugee children and youth, education plays a vital role in healing, facilitating social inclusion, and improving the health and life chances of such children and youth. © UNHCR/Zs.

While there is some helpful and valuable research and information available in educational literature and from other jurisdictions, the specific information and insights gained from interviewing Manitoban students about their experiences in Manitoba will be invaluable. A list of resources is provided in the appendices section of this document. Some of these resources feature the stories or profiles of youth and adults from refugee and war-affected backgrounds. Although the principal objectives of this document are multifaceted, they can be summarized as follows: QQ To help make refugee and war-affected learners more visible by providing a venue for their voices to be heard through the sharing of their stories, life and school experiences, needs, challenges, successes, and aspirations QQ To introduce educators and the general community to some of the young new Canadians from refugee and war-affected backgrounds who have immigrated to Manitoba and have entered our schools QQ To obtain insights about resiliency and what works and what doesn’t in terms of educational supports and programming from these learners who experienced a range of school supports from EAL classrooms and teacher support, to newcomer © E.Hockstein/UNHCR.

  • Refugees from Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda, and Burundi
    FACT SHEET July 8, 2015 From Central Africa to Buffalo: Refugees from Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Rwanda, and Burundi Please note that this is a rough-and-ready guide and that these facts will not be applicable to all refugees from the Central African region that you meet. A Brief Background For the past several decades Central Africa has been wrought with conflict, including both civil wars and international conflicts. Many different ethnic groups are involved in various capacities, creating tensions within and between countries.1 Do not assume that individuals from the same country are of the same ethnic group or religious affiliation. There are important differences among the ethnic and tribal groups, and because of the longstanding tensions among some of the groups it is important to respect these differences. 1 These conflicts have resulted in millions of refugees and internally displaced people throughout the countries in Central Africa. In particular, the conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are wide-scale and have involved surrounding countries (including the Central African Republic and Burundi) in recent years.2 Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) From 1998-2003, the DRC was involved in the deadliest war in African history, the Second Congo War, and its formal end did not bring an end to conflict.3 Disputes over resources and political ideologies have bred violence, as have conflicts with neighboring countries, including spillover from the 1994 Tutsi Genocide in Rwanda.4 Many refugees that come from the DRC have been victims of human trafficking and sexual violence.

  • 1 UNESCO Meeting “Identifying Good Practices in Safeguarding Endangered Languages in Sub-Saharan Africa” Addis Ababa, 9
    UNESCO meeting “Identifying good practices in safeguarding endangered languages in Sub‐Saharan Africa” Addis Ababa, 9 and 10 February 2007 General report I. Introduction The meeting was organized by UNESCO’s Intangible Heritage Section in cooperation with the UNESCO Addis Ababa Office in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) on 9 and 10 February 2007. It was the second of a series of two meetings organized in the framework of the UNESCO/Norway Fund‐in‐Trust project “Capacity‐building for safeguarding languages and oral traditions and expressions in Sub‐Saharan Africa”. The meeting brought together about 40 participants from 22 countries in Sub‐Saharan Africa, representatives of university departments and national and regional research institutions specialized in African languages. The discussions focused on concrete experiences, good practices and lessons related to the projects carried out by African experts for the safeguarding of endangered languages. Well before the meeting, a call for submissions was distributed among African university departments and national research institutions dealing with African languages asking for contributions in the following areas: (a) university curricula strengthening skills and methodologies for documenting and safeguarding endangered languages; (b) research partnerships for language description between endangered language communities and linguists/universities; (c) community and academic collaboration in preparing and publishing endangered language materials (orthographies, grammars, primers, etc.) and other revitalisation efforts; (d) formal and non‐formal education using endangered languages; (e) safeguarding activities for oral traditions and expressions involving endangered languages; (f) the use of public media, and information and communication technologies in safeguarding endangered languages. On the basis of the proposals received, 22 were chosen for presentation during the meeting.
