On November 20 2019 – the anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child – the idea is that children will raise their voices in solidarity with the world’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children. #WorldChildrensDay is a call to action for children, by children – demanding a better future for every child.
To celebrate World Children’s Day, the World’s Largest Lesson have teamed up with UNICEF to create fun and interactive resources including a new lesson plan & activity pack, dedicated to educating children and young people around the world about child rights.

Unicef have provided their full support to Inscool in the knowledge that the project themes and ambitions within Scottish education are directly linked to the tasks and challenges schools currently undertake on their RRSA journey.

What’s on offer?

Inscool can bring rich benefits to both you as a practitioner and to your school as a whole. Here are just a few of reasons to get involved:

• Be the first school in Scotland to use a brand new resource, featuring a step-by-step guide for your school to adapt and use in your own context
• Take a trip to Brussels, meet other schools across Europe and celebrate your RRSA work
• Access to free workshops for your learners, tailored to your RRSA priorities and facilitated by expert Inscool partners (a great opportunity to build long-term relationships with community-based partners here in Scotland!)
• Gain professional recognition in a related area (Scotdec staff are experienced in mentoring you through this process if you choose to do so
