Resilient Learners, Teachers, and Education Systems in Uganda: An Exploratory Study
REFNo: SS280ES

There are two overarching research questions in this exploratory study:
1. How do instructors participating in the AVSI-Oxfam program in Palabek, Uganda conceptualize well-being and resilience?

2. How do young people who are currently participating (or may eventually participate) in the AVSI-Oxfam program in Palebek, Uganda conceptualize well-being and resilience?

a) To begin exploratory research about how learners and teachers conceptualize well-being and resilience in contexts of displacement.
b) To learn more about project interventions, especially accelerated education (AE) and teacher education and professional development (TEPD) through key informant interviews and observations.
c) To gain insights about the larger context and operational space in Palabek settlement.

REFNo: NS92ES

- Enhance overall understanding of gestural and vocal communication of East Africa Chimpanzees with a focus on the understudied female sex
- Understand how female chimpanzees use short-distance gestures with their infants and long-distance vocalizations to maintain fission-fusion dynamics
- Which gestural or postural markers are used by females and their infants specifically before joint travel
- What behavioural cues produced by infants and mothers differ prior to successful joint travel of all forms
