Children arriving in your country as refugee child or child of labor migrants need time to feel safe again. It can be challenging for you as a teacher to receive and teach newcomers. This requires special competences, such as trauma-sensitive teaching, cultural skills and perhaps just a little more curiosity and patience than you are used to.
