What happened in Action Week 2008?
Action Week was a group effort in the Dominican Republic with more than 300 people compiling reports and writing letters to political leaders about exclusion in education which were delivered to the National Congress. The Forum Socio Dominican Republic carried out several events.

The first action was distributing guidelines for teachers on the issue of Quality Education, and Exclusion, to more than 300 schools. Students created reports on exclusion from education, and invited political leaders to come to visit their school. These reports made by children will be compiled in a document that will be delivered by a committee of student representatives to the National Congress.

What happened in Action Week 2007?


Action Week was launched by Rosa María Torres in the capital Santo Domingo at a conference on the Right to Education. Another forum to promote adult education which was attended by the State Secretary of Education was held under the theme 'The Right to Education: Literacy and Access to Written Culture'.

The youth were not left out and a special meeting on inclusive education was held to reflect on the situation of the youth who live on the frontiers between countries. It was an important moment in which young people expressed their views on development and education policies in the country.
