• DESIGN FOR CHANGE is the largest global movement designed to give children an opportunity to express their own ideas for a better world and put them into action.

• Children and adults learn through the Design for Change Challenge that “I Can” are the two most powerful words a person can believe. Children who have discovered this are changing their world.

• This year, Design for Change reaches 33 countries and over 300,000 schools inspiring hundreds of thousands of children, their teachers and parents, to celebrate the fact change is possible and that they can lead that change!

• The challenge asks students to do four very simple things : Feel, Imagine, Do and Share. Children are dreaming up and leading brilliant ideas all over the world, from challenging age-old superstitions in rural communities, to earning their own money to finance school computers to solving the problem of heavy school bags – children are proving that they have what it takes to be able to ‘design’ a future that is desired.

• The right to education is recognized as a human right and is understood to establish an entitlement to education.

• According to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights the right to education includes the right to free, compulsory primary education for all.

• The right to education also includes a responsibility to provide basic education for individuals who have not completed primary education.

RIGHT TO EDUCATION

DFC MEMBERS OF JAMNABAI NARSEE SCHOOL

Education is a gift, and it is my honour to share this gift with the less fortunate. This project has given me an opportunity to help in some way as education is extremely important in our country.

I would love to promote education among the people of India in order to take a step in eradicating illiteracy.I support this cause

strongly as education is needed in a country like ours and I loved working with my peers on this project.

Education is our birth right .I would love to support this cause through this project.

I believe in doing social work and this project gave me a chance to express myself.

message on it and wore it

around the foyer.
