KTWG - Kaw Lah Films

The Karen Teacher Working Group (KTWG) began in 1997 with summer vacation teacher training for Karen teachers in a refugee camps on the Thai Burma Boarder. The teachers had been displaced from conflict areas in Eastern Burma’s ethnic Karen region, which we call Karen State.

It soon became clear that while teachers in the refugee camps had access to some, albeit limited, support, inside Karen where there was military conflict, teachers had little to support or training options.

We soon moved our in service teacher training inside the country with our Mobile Teacher Training Project visiting and training teachers inside Karen State in Burma.
