Begin with a gathering in the school grounds, perhaps with music and performances. If you have invited parents, perhaps also local leaders and media, the students can welcome them and show their messages on placards and posters.

You may have prepared speeches, poems or quotes from Child Rights Heroes and vulnerable children, to read out loud. You can also answer questions from the audience and highlight challenges in your own everyday lives.

Also talk about the changes you want to see for increased respect for children’s rights in your village or town and country. Finally, end the day by walking, dancing or running Round the Globe for Rights and Change.
