Join here the 2 in 1 RCE Making Change Stick action organized by Uniting for Children and Youth to expand and strengthen the Rights-Centric Education Network – RCEN. The RCEN unites people who believe in pulling education into alignment with the evolution of human rights.

Action 1: A global campaign until April 22nd to have as many people as possible sign the Declaration of Child Rights-Centric Education and participating in Action 2.

Action 2: Five sessions spread over several weeks starting April 22nd aimed at getting what is known about human flourishing applied for the benefit of all young people. See five-sessions agenda below.

As much as their time permits, participants are asked to familiarize themselves in advance of sessions with what is contained in these recently created resources: Making Change Stick, The Agentic Schools Manifesto, and World Systems Solutions ons. Obtain .pdf files of the books here.
