UNRWA is a United Nations agency established by the General Assembly in 1949 and is mandated to provide assistance and protection to the population of some 5 million registered Palestine refugees. UNRWA’s services encompass education, health care, relief and social services, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance and emergency assistance.

With Encounter Edu, UNRWA co-designed the My Voice-My School virtual exchange programme, which connected Palestine refugee children from Syria, Jordan, Gaza and Lebanon in UNRWA’s schools and their peers in Europe and the USA. The resources and archived experiences of these conversations can be used as classroom inspiration or a template for similar projects.
