An educational project that changes lives


Acnur

ACNUR Loco Festival is an educational project driven by the Spanish Committee of UNHCR to raise students’ awareness of refugees’ situations, and the importance of getting actively involved in the defence of Human Rights.

EDUCATIONAL PROPOSAL

A service-learning project has been put together to encourage values-based education, solidarity, peace and the defence of Human Rights. It allows students to take the lead in the teaching/learning process, and is structured in three stages, which teachers or centres can work on in as much depth as they like.

Raising Awareness Stage

Through a series of resources and activities, we put ourselves in the shoes of refugees and displaced persons, and find out all about the work carried out by the ACNUR to help them and restore their rights.

From 1 to 3 sessions


Action-Cooperation Stage

Split up into different commissions and work groups, we carry out activities to raise social awareness in our environment, through the organisation of a charity event.

3 sessions


Reflection
Stage

Lastly, we reflect on the experience we’ve had, what we’ve achieved and the importance of continued involvement in protecting human rights.

1 session

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

The Loco Festival project is open to everyone in Spain’s education community. Formal and informal centres of education, music schools, and social education associations and entities are welcome to take part. It can be carried out at a specific centre or as part of a town or city-wide project.

A worthy cause

Donations collected as part of this project are used to fund educational projects carried out by the ACNUR all around the world, in order to guarantee young refugees their right to education. From the centre, students help other boys and girls who, like them, have big dreams for the future.
