An educational project that changes lives
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.
