The Impact of Violence and Conflict on Education
Armed conflict and other situations of violence deprive those in the midst of it of the essentials \u2013 food, clean water, health care, shelter \u2013 and the chance to experience life and grow at their own pace. Despite the protection afforded them by international law, both children and adults are vulnerable to all sorts of risks. One of the most critical is the impact violence has on education. The interruption of education has severe consequences for both the future of individuals and a country\u2019s capacity to recover, especially when crises are protracted. In this episode of Intercross the Podcast, we talk about the impact of violence and conflict on education, the long-term effects and what ICRC is doing to help mitigate those. Guests include Geoff Loane, ICRC\u2019s Head of Education, Danijel Cuturic, ICRC\u2019s Education Advisor in Ukraine and Karla Hoover, ICRC\u2019s Education Advisor in South Sudan. Hosted by Niki Clark.
