Accessing education is a challenge for all social categories in the disputed territories, especially for children who suffer from congenital problems as there is weakness in governmental and institutional roles in this regard. In addition to social problems and bullying constitutes a major issue for those children at school, therefore, these children are at the risk to lose their future and live-in depression and depend on others for a living. Implementation of the “Your Right in Education” project by Youth Bridge Organization, for three months in Sinjar, in which a sequence of activities was organized inside and outside schools with children, parents, teachers and school principals, and community leaders such as awareness campaigns, workshops, community campaigns through brochures, and design motivational videos on awareness to be shared on social media. This project intended to enhance stabilization, social cohesion, and instant peace in schools, and reduce violence and bullying by preparing an educational environment for all children with no discrimination and raising self-confidence among children. Also, encourage them to continue with education in order to have a better future. These activities contributed to increasing children’s knowledge of their right to education and help them to accept each other to build a stable and peaceful environment at schools and build social cohesion.
