LET'S TALK ABOUT IT
CHECK-IN GUIDANCE
This tool provides instructions on how to facilitate a check-in session with children aged six years and up when they arrive back at school or another activity space that was closed due to an ongoing war. It is also designed for use by adults – including classroom teachers – to help children settle back into a regular school routine as well as it can be used outside of a school context, i.e., in non-formal education settings, children’s clubs, child protection-led activities, livelihood activities, etc.
