Selected work.

Challenge

Building a structured regional platform to support education practitioners working with displaced communities across multiple countries — each with different languages, legal frameworks, and institutional conditions. The question was how to create shared infrastructure without flattening those differences.

Nader's Role

Contributed to platform development, community facilitation, and documentation. Helped shape the approach to cross-cultural participation and supported practitioners from different national contexts in engaging with the platform's shared resources and structures.

Challenge

An NGO running education programming in a displacement context needed an honest review of whether its approach was reaching the families it was designed to serve. Reporting to funders was generally positive, but field staff had raised concerns informally.

Nader's Role

Led a qualitative field assessment over several weeks, conducting interviews with families, teachers, school administrators, and programme staff. Produced a review document that distinguished between what the programme intended, what field teams understood it to be, and what participants actually experienced.

Challenge

A municipality was expanding its efforts to include refugee children in local schools but lacked structured support for teachers and administrators working in newly diverse classrooms. Schools were managing largely on their own, without coordination or shared guidance.

Nader's Role

Provided advisory support to the municipality's integration team. Designed and facilitated a series of training workshops for school staff. Helped develop a light documentation framework for schools to track what was and was not working, without creating significant additional administrative burden.

Challenge

A small community-based organisation with strong grassroots relationships was struggling to describe its work clearly to external funders — without reducing what it did to a format that no longer resembled what it actually was. Previous funding applications had been unsuccessful.

Nader's Role

Worked alongside the organisation's small team over several weeks. Documented their programming approach through observation and interviews with both staff and community members. Developed a funder narrative that retained the texture of the work while meeting the expectations of institutional readers.

Challenge

A programme providing non-formal education to displaced adults and young people was approaching a funding renewal decision. The funder requested an independent assessment. The programme team had concerns that an external assessment might misrepresent what they did.

Nader's Role

Conducted a short field assessment including participant interviews, group observation, and review of programme records. Produced two separate documents: a clear summary for the funder and an operational note for the programme team — each written for its intended audience.
