Adolescent Kit: Adapted activity packet for use in Gaza (2023)
Activity and guidance packet adapted from the Adolescent Kit for facilitators leading supportive activities with adolescents in temporary spaces
Highlights
At the onset of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza in 2023, UNICEF developed this guidance packet, derived from the Adolescent Kit for Expression and Innovation, for facilitators supporting adolescents who had been displaced and otherwise affected by the conflict. The packet comprises a cover guide to support facilitators in starting and leading activities through safe, supportive approaches, and a folio of 17 short activities to facilitate adolescents' relief from stress, their participation in healthy socioemotiona learning, and their opportunities to connect in supportive ways with their peers.
Originally tailored for small groups of 7-20 adolescents aged 10-18, these activities can be adjusted for younger or older participants and larger, mixed-age groups. The selected activities prioritize flexibility, relevance, and adaptability to fluid circumstances. They are inclusive for all adolescents, regardless of abilities, and do not necessitate using specific supplies or materials.
