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.
