Activiteit/evenement

UNICEF

International School Breda

Representatives from UNICEF visited both Primary and Secondary to share information about the world UNICEF does throughout the world, promoting children’s rights, placing a special emphasis on sustainability in the lessons they gave. Climate change, conflict, disease and economic crises are cutting children off from their chance to thrive. Students learnt that without immediate action, we risk losing millions of lives to easily preventable causes like disease, poor nutrition and unsafe water. Students also learned how plastic bricks (produced from recycled waste) are being used in West Africa, to build classrooms, helping solve one of the biggest barriers to education.

  • Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: External speakers can provide real-world insights and practical knowledge related to their field or experiences. This exposure helps students see the relevance of what they're learning in the classroom to the world outside. UNICEF focuses on children’s rights and has a network of volunteers who come into schools to talk about the valuable work this charity does around the world.
  • Onderwijstype: Basisonderwijs
  • Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: The lessons provided by UNICEF led to various initiatives such as Primary children collecting discarded plastic in the neighbourhood and Secondary fundraising for UNICEF to support children less fortunate than themselves. Such actions not only contribute to fundraising efforts but also raise awareness about critical issues affecting children, fostering a sense of global citizenship and social responsibility among students. We are proud of our students’ proactive involvement in making a positive impact on society. It signifies their understanding of the importance of helping those in need and their willingness to take action to support a cause that aims to uplift vulnerable children around the world. Such actions not only contribute to fundraising efforts but also raise awareness about critical issues affecting children, fostering a sense of global citizenship and social responsibility among students.
