Phase 1 - Swaziland

Informing on children's rights

In Swaziland, the supported project involved organizing school events on 10 December 1998 to mark Human Rights Day and to promote and create a culture of respect for human rights.  Drama, music and poems were presented by pupils from four rural based schools representing each of the four regions of the country. The recipient reports that the day began with participants marching along the main streets of the city of Mbabane in brightly coloured T-shirts and carrying banners and posters. In the workshop portion of the event, students were given copies of the UDHR and other materials and given the assignment of returning to their schools to teach others about human rights.
