This is what the 2nd Edition of the ACNUR Loco Festival was like
More than 20,000 schoolchildren have joined in the second festival. From all corners of Spain, young people have raised their voices for refugee people, demonstrating that there is only one possible response when human rights are violated and that we can change the world from the classroom. Thanks, locos!
Centres
Cities
Amount raised
From infant school to vocational training; in tiny hamlets and big cities; with one class or the whole school. The diversity of experiences and ways of participating has been as enormous as the creativity and energy with which the pupils have worked during the year. Their teachers give them 10 out of 10 for keenness and solidarity!
- Concerts, musicals, auditions, talent shows... Hundreds of pupils have taken to the stage to raise public awareness in an enjoyable way.
-
Others have preferred drama, poetry or painting to promote empathy through real, personal stories.
-
Some have turned their schools into refugee camps or created activities to put themselves in the shoes of displaced persons.
-
Many have organised markets, tombolas, raffles, breakfasts and teas to show their solidarity.
-
And some have even put on their trainers and gone running to bring themselves closer to refugees.
-
There have been pupils on the radio, on the television and in the local press championing human rights with maturity and firmness that has given us goosepimples.
-
They have mobilised local organisations, universities, families and neighbours showing that, when we act from the heart and work as a team, we can achieve anything, however crazy it might seem.
-
The second Loco Festival leaves us educational projects to change lives and unforgettable experiences. We have immortalised all of them on this blog: https://locofestival.eacnur.org/es/blog
a collective challenge: the right to education
There are 70.8 million refugees and displaced persons in the world. More than half of them are children. Guaranteeing them the right to education is the first step to giving them a future. The funds collected at this year’s Loco Festival will be given to the “Educate a Child” and “Mind the Gap” projects seeking to offer children access to primary and secondary education respectively.
