The article talks about the BATT programme, a UNESCO led pilot project that was conducted to facilitate the socio-cultural integration and provide secondary education for the youth affected by the Syrian crisis. At the graduation ceremony, the teachers narrated that the training has helped them to understand how to deal with refugee students struggling with integration. For example, Deya, a teacher who took part in the project narrated his experience:

“The BATT training taught me that teachers need to get involved in ensuring the well-being of students and practice patience and understanding when dealing with students from different cultures.”
