Children in emergencies will receive enhanced psychosocial support thanks to UNICEF book

With UNICEF support, a book entitled “Structured Activities and Play in Child Friendly Spaces” has been developed in Farsi and published. This book introduces a collection of structured activities and various games designed for use in child-friendly spaces within crisis and humanitarian settings. The main objective of these activities is to support the mental and social well-being of children and to create a safe environment for learning and play, which can help reduce the negative impacts of crises and disasters on children's psychological and social development. The book provides activities suitable for children aged 6 to 18, serving as a practical tool for facilitators, teachers, social workers, and those interested in working with children in emergency settings. With a scientific and practical approach to play as an essential component of early psychosocial interventions, this collection enables educators and field workers to confidently and effectively provide services for children in child-friendly spaces.
