Published 4 months, 4 weeks ago
Description
Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 shattered the daily lives of people across the country. Schools have been destroyed, upending the education system. Although schooling has continued online, in underground classrooms and shelters, millions of students and teachers have been displaced. Many people have had to part with their fathers, husbands, and siblings who are fighting in the war. All of this is taking a toll on mental health.
NHK World’s Sekiya Satoshi explains how educators in Japan and Ukraine are working together to overcome the crisis.
