IV. Facilitator’s Process
1. Preliminary Activity (10 minutes)
What are the needs of children during emergencies?
Before starting the proper discussion of the session, the participants will be divided into
five or six groups to discuss their answers on the question above. Their responses should be
written on the Manila paper provided and present their outputs in the plenary once done. The
goal of this activity is to help the participants recognize education as a life-saving response and
life-sustaining emergency response and should also be treated equally with the right to access
food, water and shelter in emergency situations.
2. Processing and Synthesis (60 minutes)
A. Education in Emergencies (30 minutes)
The effects of disasters and emergencies to the education sector have a long term
impact. These impacts can be mitigated by rolling-out an effective Education in

2. 2
Emergencies (EiE) program. To emphasize the need for EiE, the facilitator should
present the following topics:
 Effects of disasters to the education sector and the rationale of EiE;
 Domains and technical components of EiE; and
Contextualizing EiE.
B. Transition to the Cluster Approach in Humanitarian Response (30 minutes)
The facilitator should explain in plenary discussion that the cluster system is an
international approach to humanitarian preparedness and response coordination which
was adopted in the Philippines. According to RA 10121, DepEd leads the Education
cluster in the Philippines and it is supported by Unicef and Save the Children from the
international humanitarian community.
3. Synthesis and Closing Activity (20 minutes)
Working with the same group they belong to during the opening activity, the participants
will have to answer the following questions and present their outputs through artworks
which will be displayed in the gallery. Once all outputs were finished, all the participants
will do a gallery walk to view all the artworks.
The questions are:
 What activities under the EiE technical component assigned to your group have
been carried out in your Division/Region during the previous disaster or
emergency?
 What other activities could have been carried out and what needs to be improved
with those which were carried out, if any?
 What EiE domains were covered by your previous emergency response? Which
were not covered and why?
V. Key Learnings
To close the discussion, the facilitator must stress these key understandings:
 EiE is a basic need of children during emergencies.
 EiE is an important feature of an emergency response.
 EiE has foundational and technical standards that must be considered during
emergencies.
 EiE should be contextualized in different settings depending on the situation and
needs.
 The Humanitarian Cluster system is a coordination mechanism that facilitates
effective humanitarian response during periods of emergency. This maybe
contextualized according to the specific context of the emergency or humanitarian
crisis.
