This conversation will explore how five years on, Sesame Workshop and the International Rescue Committee’s Ahlan Simsim program has provided transformational early childhood development and playful learning to millions of children affected by conflict and crisis in the Middle East. New research shows that Ahlan Simsim is a proven, scalable solution to deliver foundational skills for children’s long-term success in learning and life, including the emotional ABCs critical for their future mental health and emotional well-being. Ahlan Simsim has set a new standard for how the world responds to children in crisis – the task now is to leverage these learnings to catalyze lasting change.
