The lessons learned from aid workers in Syria and the region

24 April, 2019 @ 14:30 - 18:30

In March, the European Union and the United Nations organised a major conference in Brussels on the future of Syria and the region. More than 57 countries and 20 international organisations came together to talk about supporting the future of Syria and the region. During this program, we talk with aid workers who are active in Syria and the region. What have been the biggest humanitarian challenges? How will the outcomes of the conference affect their work? And what lessons have to be learned from the events of recent years?

  • Paul Wolters works for Terre des Hommes and War Child and will talk with Syrians and the public about education for Syrian children.
