How board games are transforming education in refugee camps
In short: In crowded classrooms with limited teachers, traditional learning can feel out of reach. This video explores how Joel Baraka uses educational board games to make learning accessible and engaging for children living in refugee camps.
Growing up in Uganda's Kyangwali refugee camp, Joel Baraka witnessed firsthand the difficulties students face, including rigid curricula and a lack of access to teachers. To combat these challenges, he founded a nonprofit dedicated to making education more accessible to refugee children.
By utilizing educational board games, Baraka aims to create a learning environment where children can thrive both inside and outside of the classroom. This approach turns the struggle for education into an engaging experience that improves access to vital learning tools.
