Summer activities for Ukrainian refugee children by Gwent Adult Learning in the Community Partnership
Monmouthshire Community Education service works in partnership with the leisure and tourism department to deliver a summer programme for children residing at a welcome centre for Ukrainian refugees. The service, provided by the partnership’s ‘English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)’ team, enables the children to benefit from language skills development opportunities via informal arts and craft sessions. This not only supports language development, but also helps new arrivals to form friendships and learn about cultural norms in preparation for the new school year.
