Celebrating International Human Rights Day at Our School

 

Celebrating International Human Rights Day at Our School 

Every year on December 10, the world comes together to honor International Human Rights Day, a date that reminds us of the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to every person. This year marks the 77th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and our school community has embraced the occasion with creativity and purpose.

Did you know that only 5% of the global population has read the Human Rights Declaration at least once? To help close this gap and raise awareness, our 1st Bilingual ESO students have taken action! They designed vibrant posters featuring 20 of the 30 Articles in both English and Spanish, now proudly displayed on classroom doors throughout the school.

But that’s not all—they also recorded these articles in both languages, bringing the words to life with their voices. You can explore their work and listen to their recordings in the presentation linked below.

Through these initiatives, we aim to make Human Rights visible and meaningful for everyone in our educational community. Let’s continue to learn, share, and stand together for equality and dignity!

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 2024

 

HUMAN RIGHTS DAY 2024

International Human Rights Day is celebrated every December 10 to promote the rights and freedoms of people in the world.

This year, to celebrate the 76th anniversary of its Declaration, we have taken a series of actions with the objective of making these Rights visible to the entire educational community. It is known that only 5% of the world's population has read the Human Rights at least once in their lives. For this reason, and with the aim of bridging this gap, the students of 1st bilingual ESO have created 30 posters that read each of the Articles both in English and Spanish. These posters can be seen displayed on the doors of every class. In addition, the same students have recorded them in both languages. You can see their work and listen to their voices in the above presentation.

International Human Rights Day

 International Human Rights Day is celebrated every December 10 to promote the rights and freedoms of people all over the world.

This year, to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of its Declaration, the students in 1º Bilingual Program have taken a series of actions to make these Rights visible to the entire educational community. Surprisingly, only 5% of the world's population has read these Human Rights at least once in their lives. It is for this reason, and with the aim of increasing this percentage, that our students, and with the help of their history teacher, have recorded a video reading them both in Spanish and English.

Human Rights Project

International Human Rights Day is celebrated every December 10 to promote the rights and freedoms of people in the world.

This course, to celebrate the 71st anniversary of its Declaration, from the Bilingual Program we have wanted to promote a series of actions with the objective of making these Rights visible to the entire educational community. Surprisingly, only 5% of the world's population has read these Human Rights at least once in their lives. It is for this reason, and with the aim of increasing this percentage, that the students of 1st bilingual ESO, with the help of their history teacher, have created 30 posters that read each of the Articles both in English and Spanish and which have been placed in the classroom doors. In addition, the same students have read them in both languages. To complete this interdisciplinary project, the students of 2nd bilingual ESO in the Technology class have designed the images and video that we show you below.

World Toilet Day

World Toilet Day is celebrated on 19th November and it has been the desire of the Bilingual Programme to delve into all the problems caused by the absence of sanitation, as 4.2 billion people in the world still do not have access to a toilet.

One of the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 is access to clean water and sanitation. Only when the entire world population has this, can article 25 of the Human Rights, in which the right to health is discussed, be fulfilled.

   The "Pee, Poo and Paper" campaign, organized by the EMA, gave a workshop in English to students of 1st and 2nd bilingual ESO, which emphasized the need not to throw in the toilet nothing but what the campaign motto preaches.

The Route to Human Rights in the Primitive Way

The students in 3ºand 4º ESO in the Bilingual Programme were invited by Where is Asturias to visit the Route to Human rights in the Primitive Way,  which is known to be the first route of the The Way of Saint James, Camino de Santiago. It starts in Oviedo, Asturias and ends in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia. ISHR will inaugurate this route as part of its project this year.

The Route to Human Rights in the Primitive Way consists of placing and installing 30 artistic bronze plaques, designed by Spanish Artist Demo (Eladio de Mora) along the 13 stages of the Primitive Way. The plaques are being dedicated to each one of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These plaques are sponsored by councils, individuals, private organizations, and philanthropists.

The students visited Cornellana and Salas, homes to plaques with Articles 4 (I have the right to freedom from slavery) and 5 (I have the right to not be tortured) of the UDHR. First they visited Monasterio de San Salvador (11th century) and the pilgrims hostel or refuge.

The following stop was Salas, where they had the opportunity to see the Colegiata de Santa María Real where Fernando Valdés Salas, founder of University of Oviedo, is buried in an extraordinary mausoleum. After that, they went up the Medieval Tower ( 14th century) where they could take great pictures of the village.

Thanks again to Where is Asturias and International Solidarity for Human Rights for making it possible.

International Solidarity for Human Rights (ISHR) in Doña Jimena HighSchool

 Over the last months our students in the Bilingual Programme have been learning about Human Rights and its history. They have decorated the corridors of our school with posters showing all the 30 Articles in the  Declaration of Human Rights. They have also made comics based on these Articles, and they have even written scripts for younger students to make into a film.

   Today,  International Solidarity for Human Rights, www.ishrights.org  a non-profit organization stablished in the state of Florida in 2008, has visited us.

  Thanks to technology we could have an online interactive class connecting the organization in  Miami  with the students in the 1st and 2nd  year in Gijón. Elisabeth Sánchez Vega (President and Founder) and Devorah Sasha (Executive Director and Founder) gave our students a very interesting, inspiring talk  and encouraged them to become ambassadors for Human Rights now that they are part of the 1% of the world's population that have read them.

Thanks a million!
