Some Scottish schools have connected with schools in Palestine to explore the UNCRC. Palestine was chosen as it was identified by the UN as an area of priority regarding children’s rights St Michael’s Primary in Dumbarton paired with Rawdat El Zahur primary in East Jerusalem. A cultural programme has been agreed where children demonstrate and learn each other’s traditional dance, exchange information about local heroes and develop a shared playground charter based on the UNCRC.
In January, Our Lady and St Patrick’s High School invited other schools to join then for a day of connected learning with Palestinian schools.
The Scottish/Palestine school link is coordinated in a partnership between Scottish and Palestinian schools, the British Council and Scottish Friends of Palestine.

The Rights Respecting School steering group pupils gave a presentation on Children’s Rights to the whole school, and invited myself as Children’s Rights Officer along to give a presentation on Children’s Rights and some of the work I am involved in.
