We are here to tell you about the latest campaign that we participated in! In February, Primary 4 – 7 took part in the Send My Friend To School (Keep All Our Friends Learning) campaign, to spread awareness about Article 28 (The right to an education) and the extent to which this is often denied around the world, for different reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Importantly, we were encouraged to use our voice to raise concerns about global issues – some incredibly meaningful learning occurred!
“We’re calling for all children, everywhere, to keep learning safely during the COVID-19 pandemic”
We explored case studies to discover the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on young people’s education around the world and compare and contrast these with our own experiences:
We took this a step further to amplify the message, sending our concerns and ideas with our local MPs, to push for change! We can’t wait to hear a response from them and we will let you know what they have to say.
This experience was valuable as it developed our understanding of social justice and the vital role that we can play in righting injustices at home and around the world – we are well on our way to becoming proactive citizens of the world!
