Members of the Norwegian RefugeesWellSchool team at the National Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies (NKVTS) have introduced RWS and its interventions in a number of seminars, webinars and conferences targeting national, municipal and county level education authorities, alongside primary and secondary school educators and administrators.

This included events organized by The National Centre of Multicultural Education, and meetings and consultations facilitated by national government/public bodies, such as the webinar ”Psychosocial support to children, adolescents and families who have fled from Ukraine”, organized jointly by five national directorates on 24 May (the Directorate of Children, Youth and Family Affairs; Dir. of Education; Dir. of Health; Dir. of National Police; Dir. of Immigration).

Results from the RefugeesWellSchool project have informed research and evidence briefs, submitted and published by NKVTS in its role as governmental advisor on terrorism and disaster preparedness. And, as a last example, project results are featured also in text and video information packages developed for an NKVTS special website section on psychosocial support for refugees from the war in Ukraine, reaching large numbers of stakeholders in refugee reception around the country, including professionals and policymakers in the health, education and migration/integration sectors. Further domestic dissemination activities occasioned by the Ukraine crisis are scheduled to continue in the months ahead.
