![]() Boys and girls should both be represented when conducting the activities. As Save the Children works to reach the most marginalised children, it is important that when conducting activities, the organisation pays special attention to the children who are not the most vocal, and ensures that the activities are conducted in an inclusive and gender-sensitive way, promoting the participation of all children. ![]() It is thus important that education and child protection colleagues work together in designing and implementing this project. One of the key aspects of the project is to address the issues one has uncovered (for instance ensuring that documentation is follow-up by providing a response, either through referral or through direct support). This project links child protection and education across the interventions. Globally, we aim to link experiences from these countries to the global advocacy and policy work. Where the context allows, we work through partners to engage armed non-state actors (ANSAs) among others to not disrupt education. This is a way to implement the Safe Schools Declaration through a bottom-up approach by engaging local schools and communities. This includes using participatory tools and methods to engage children. ![]() Locally, the project aims to secure protective learning environments in conflict and post-conflict situations, raise awareness among communities, school management and children, and build local and national level engagement to protect education. ![]() In the project, we work with children, school management and local communities, and work to influence local, national and global policies. The project builds on the Schools as Zones of Peace-model that was successful in ensuring children’s access to education in Nepal during the civil war, and uses components from this while linking it to the Safe Schools Declaration. Schools as Zones of Peace is a Save the Children led project that aims to secure boys and girls’ protection at school, and avoid that education is disrupted because of armed conflict. Save the Children has developed a project that aims to link the global work done on protecting education from attack to what happens at school level in affected countries.
