What's happening in 2008:
1st May - Radijojo - Germany
www.radijojo.de/transatlantik
The national World’s Biggest Lesson is hoped to take place outside the German Reichstag (Parliament Building). Brave children will take the place of teachers, giving the lesson on quality education for all to politicians and teachers alike. Chancellor Angela Merkel has already been invited, as have other Members of Parliament and the Secretarial of State for Development Cooperation. At the end of the lesson the German School Report Card will be delivered to Angela Merkel, by the children and young people present. Besides this event and others the Minister for Development Cooperation will be attending the World’s Biggest Lesson in her local constituency. The national and local media are also being invited to all the events.
What happened in 2007?
A major JOIN UP event was organised in Leipzig, where children held banners demanding 'We Need Education - Now!' and gave information to the public on Global Action Week and the need for Education for All. The children also told electronic and print media how proud they were to be part of such a big action around the world and that politicians should start to take action for Education for All. All heads turned to Germany in June, when campaigners made another human chain and staged a delivery of messages to a puppet 'Merkel' ahead of the G8.
