For World Children’s Day this year, our students used the hashtag #NAEKidsTakeOver to get involved in the Sustainable Development Goals at school. Altogether, this year’s ‘Kids Take Over’ school event has led to a combined ‘Student Voice’ campaign, which truly taps into what World Children’s Day is all about. Many of you are already doing great things in schools to harness and elevate student voices.

Global Campus is also hosting an exciting comic book competition! Not just an exercise in creativity, the competition tasks students with creatively conveying Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education. They are asked to unpack the core issues around Goal 4, choose a problem to focus on and come up with concrete steps to overcome the problem in a creative comic. Comic Book pieces will be judged by the Global Campus team and UNICEF. Winning pieces will be showcased in a digital comic book.
Our Photographers of the Year Competition is also well underway. This competition kicked off in the 2017/2018 academic year and encourages students to post impactful photos on Global Campus. This year’s theme focuses on unpacking Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. Final submissions will be judged by a panel of qualified judges, as well as by UNICEF! Finally, a digital calendar will be released to schools in January.
