MYP: Service as Action

Europaskolans FN-dag, eller ”Service as Action”-dag, är när eleverna i MYP jobbar med volontärarbete under en hel dag för att samla in pengar till en organisation. Eleverna kan till exempel ordna bake sales eller jobba med olika arbetsuppgifter som att kratta löv eller städa hemma.

Organisationerna väljs av MYP 4 utifrån elevernas arbete med uniten ”Towards a better world”. Årets fokus har varit på kvinnor och flickor, och Europaskolans elever stöttade WaterAid i Ghana, Panzisjukhuset i Kongo, Global Giving i Moçambique och Belarus Women Foundation. Tidigare år har Service as Action-dagen samlat in pengar för att borra brunnar åt ett barnhem i Uganda.

Join the celebration

Let's stand together as a community to honour the ideals of the UN — peace, equality and cooperation. Together we can make the world a better place.
