Child Rights Day

Enfant qui dessine

For the schoolchildren's chain to go around the world

International Day of the Rights of the Child is on 20 November every year. With our teams of volunteers, we raise the Swiss public’s awareness to uphold every child’s right to an education. We invite classes and schools across Switzerland to build a huge chain of solidarity.

Chains of schoolchildren

Drawing smiles and colouring in characters to build a brightly-coloured chain is a simple idea to show support for the right to an education. The chain of schoolchildren represents the number of children who attend school worldwide. Adding a character to the chain is an act of support towards these children and confidence in the role that Terre des hommes plays. Find out how to get involved on the right.
