Key Information

Together for Learning is an international 3-year campaign to promote quality education and lifelong learning for children and youth who are:

  • refugees
  • forcibly displaced from their home region, due to violence, natural disasters or other causes
  • living in host communities where refugees or displaced people are staying

Together for Learning promotes partnerships by bringing together children and youth, communities, civil society organizations, national governments and global stakeholders.

Together, we aim to drive community, national and global change to make sure that all children and youth have access to quality education and that nobody gets left behind.
