Whilst reaching new conflict-affected communities with skills and resources in Armenia and Poland in 2022-2023, Kitabna’s multi-lingual resources continue to be used in Northern Ireland, Lebanon and Syria. Our 2021-2024 children’s books are in circulation in school classrooms, informal-education centres, camp schools and psychosocial support programmes as paperback books and online resources. We continue to follow up regularly to understand more how the resources are being used and how we can improve access to these, and our workshops, in new contexts. Increasing work with psychologists in Armenia allows us to build on the concept of reading and writing as a therapeutic process, since developing our 2021 Therapeutic stories series with child educational psychologists in Northern Ireland. Understanding how Kitabna’s methods can be incorporated into therapeutic practice sheds greater light on the impacts and benefits of storytelling on child mental health in emergencies. Co-creating storytelling activities for “Child-Friendly Spaces” with Child Protection teams in Poland HAS allowed us to understand how storytelling could open communication lines between staff and beneficiaries, increasing awareness of issues facing children in institutional care.
Regarding community consultation and stakeholder inclusion, Kitabna endeavours to uphold principles of human-centred design. In order to start any project, in-depth conversations have been instigated in response to any request for collaboration for workshop and/or resource delivery. This has taken place in the forms of meetings, whereby projects have been discussed in terms of a needs assessment, often provided by the potential collaborating organisation, who have established networks in the communities we have worked with. In the case of resource creation, a community consultation has been carried out in the forms of: quantitative and qualitative surveying developed with stakeholders and distributed with identified beneficiaries via networks of trust, and via Google Forms; story-writing workshops intended to understand and record the concerns, wishes and needs of the intended community; feedback milestones in the course of the creation of resources, whereby a resource is developed and shared with stakeholders, and wherever possible, members of the intended community, for their review and comments. For a full breakdown of our work and impact, and testimonies from our stakeholders and beneficiaries, please visit our reports page: https://www.kitabna.org/reports.html
