What's happening in 2008: 1st May - UNESCO - France 3000 visit UNESCO's online forum on inclusive education "Quality education for all is a key issue for the future, as crucial as providing basic elements of living such as adequate food, shelter and safety. ... The French Coalition is planning a number of colourful events. There is a possibility to either invite a politician into a classroom or to go to the local town hall with the children to teach the lesson. For the national event, there are plans to get authorisation to go to the French assembly with children to make them teach the lesson to the present deputies. There will also be production of a short movie of the lesson that will be available online for those who want to participate in the campaign without having the opportunity to actually make the lesson, thus they would be able to watch this lesson online. On the 23rd of April the coalition will launch a petition to ask the national President to give financial support needed to achieve education for all.
