You should have received an invitation from the Brookings Institute for a book reception on Wednesday, June 8th from 5:30-7:00pm to celebrate The Sesame Effect, a publication about Sesame Street’s global impact.   Prior to the reception, there will be a panel discussion on supporting childhood development in humanitarian crises.  You are more than welcome to come to either or both – but I really hope you can stop by that evening!  Please rsvp using the link below if you can make it.
It would be great to see you there!

Cheers,
Sherrie

Unprecedented armed conflicts and natural disasters are now driving a global displacement crisis. According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, more than 60 million people are displaced worldwide, and half of them are children. These displaced children are hindered from developing cognitive and social-emotional skills—such as perseverance, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution—which are essential for school readiness and serve as the foundation for a more peaceful and stable future. However, through the development and testing of innovative educational strategies, we can build effective practices for improving young children’s learning and developmental outcomes in crisis contexts.

On June 8, the Center for Universal Education at Brookings and Sesame Workshop will co-host a panel discussion to explore innovative strategies to meet the needs of young children in humanitarian crises. Following the session, there will be a reception celebrating the publication of “The Sesame Effect: The Global Impact of the Longest Street in the World<http://connect.brookings.edu/e1t/c/*W436Xh34xXXKRW5j2px36ww5wg0/*W6HX6Xl13t4gRW2JxpJS3wZ9-s0/5/f18dQhb0S9r79jgNR-W95rnpT5VQHvSW62S4XZ6PkGPqW4R4B4l57mvC2W1BQYgz8Tm-CdW83C2PM2cSR0HW3ptY7b8hrq7PW3r8BLg7P2MyVW92zhzH78YWbGW834qrz7zLrgrW2fMZPR2kBbL5W7F0zt476gdNRW7F1m6R1ksGJhVFSgj32fZLbGW1NcFg124ZrMcW6JKcf71LgMG3W6DthHc6_5NbfW6pR7P97hWf2VW6Bt4HJ1_QrvgW1Y_Y5J4Z1fhxW20Y98h1Yg1QdN2XWtYc9brJdW46Ddpd6G2lbzN7NMdQN4cNXyW75WRHJ55M7f2W7ChbqC4JRmRBVhQT3z31mzB6W5QSFWh6K6KXtW1bkqtN33Z4HwN5hWrVMJhpl_N11sg_0Rz9R-W8zz0QL5HySXCW5z8klG5mRQ2XW3qKZj93-cp8xVYyz9z3CtTt-W8wTxQq8m2J8TW1BgLjv6tbqRwMPs031gkKmyW5q6wZP41BpfjW4D-DlY2-PWHTW3L_2LL3shCb5V10N9F5xftxSW3v689C6l3LjDW2hC1wN64-H2cW8K4yn935vkWTW8w-y7c1wgyzMVLRWSY7k4X9_f4dVPV604>.”
