What's happening in 2008:
 |
Schools across Uruguay are inviting politicians to take part in the World's Biggest Lesson, and are sending them these electronic postcards that will include their demands for quality education and to end exclusion. The Uruguay's new Minister of Education is being asked for an interview, where all the postcards that weren't emailed will be handed over. |
What happened in 2007?
In total about 3,000 citizens took part in making human chains in Uruguay. Whilst many schools used playgrounds, school buildings, or classrooms to make their human chains, the biggest took place in José Enrique Rodó where people held hands and paper chains containing messages written by children. Meanwhile in Colonia, chains were being made every half an hour for 2 hours in different parts of the city. In Melo there were workshops on the Right to Education given by teachers and students, and a peaceful big chain was organized in Vergara's Main Square. All these events were covered in the public media.
