Promising Practices in Refugee Education (PPIRE) is a joint initiative of Save the Children, the world’s largest independent children’s rights organisation, UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, and Pearson, the world’s learning company. Launched in March 2017, the initiative set out to identify, document and promote innovative ways to effectively reach refugee children and young people with quality educational opportunities.
On 22 September, during the UN General Assembly, we are launching a report that synthesises the key findings and lessons learned from across more than twenty projects that were selected as part of the initiative. Those projects and the experience of implementing partners have been used to identify ten recommendations aimed at improving refugee education policy and practice.
Use this social media toolkit starting 15 September, to build up momentum towards the big launch event on 22 September.
This toolkit has three sections - (1) Tweets to use starting now until 21 September (2) Sample tweets for case studies as teasers to the launch event, organisations are urged to create & post their own (3) Tweets for the launch film and report

FACEBOOK POST FOR THE FILM: Over half of the world's refugees are children, majority of which experience the double jeopardy of losing both their homes and their education. So Save the Children, in partnership with Pearson and UNHCR decided to go out and find the innovative best practices already existing in reaching refugee children with some form of education. We shortlisted twenty such projects, ranging from grassroot organisations to big iNGOs and Education Institutes, and used their experience and insights to come up with 10 recommendations. Watch this short video to find out what they are! [upload video]
