Action in schools
From organising a mock human rights trial in Poland to creating theatre and music performances in Austria, students are exploring and communicating human rights issues.
It’s amazing how small steps can bring about big changes.

Schools across the world have also been involved in speaking out on behalf of those who don’t go to school. Schools report this work as having a positive impact on students’ outlook and confidence.
‘Stand up to Poverty’ events
I was impressed with the number of speakers present and how we all stood up for one minute in tribute to world poverty. This gave me the courage to participate in more such activities.
