Cardinal newman students participated in children's rights campaign

About a thousand students from Cardinal Newman School participated in a campaign to promote Human Rights organized by the school's DER team. The campaign began with a classroom session where a UNICEF video on children's rights was shown at each level.

Then, we reflected on the topic and gave out stickers in order to promote gestures or actions related to the rights. Once the gesture or action had been carried out, the children were invited to stick their tickets on wooden paper posters displayed around the school. At the same time, families were invited to participate by making gestures and joining in with their tickets.
