Tunisia

In 2024, UNICEF Tunisia introduced the Adolescent Kit as an educational resource to support youth throughout the country in by strengthening their socioemotional skills and preparing them for healthy social and economic participation in their lives beyond schools. Collaborating with its government partners, including the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Youth and Sport and the Ministry of Social Affairs, UNICEF has trained teachers, ‘inspectors’, youth workers and other frontliners in implementing the Adolescent Kit activities and using the approaches and methods it supports for participatory, arts-based learning. In Tunisian secondary schools, the Adolescent Kit has been integrated into classrooms and teaching methods through the Model for Dropout Prevention programme, complementing other programme components that include counseling and individualized tutoring for a holistic strategy to support at-risk youth in completing their schooling. In youth centers, the Kit supports structured extracurricular activities for adolescents' skill-based learning. 

In July 2025 the Adolescent Kit was also adapted and implemented within a "Life Skills Up Bootcamp" for adolescents in state-run centers that provide protection, guidance and reintegration opportunities for children at risk and in contact with the law. The immersive bootcamp experience proved highly impactful, allowing adolescents to express themselves, gain confidence, strengthen their sense of belonging, and engage in collective problem-solving.

UNICEF Tunisia is currently using the Adolescent Kit to develop additional new curricula, including an "activity pack" for youth who have completed a first phase of the programme in schools or youth centers. In collaboration with government partners, UNHCR and IOM, UNICEF-Tunisia also plans to train professional staff to use the Adolescent Kit in shelters, supporting children on the move and ensuring that they benefit from structured life skills and psychosocial development activities.
