Celebrating Art and Advocacy
Between August and September 2024, we collaborated with Antonio García School in Bogotá, Colombia, to organise an Arts Festival. The event engaged 49 students aged 9 to 13 in workshops brimming with creativity and discovery.
Over four sessions, the Art and Rights workshops introduced students to the fundamentals of human rights and their connection to public services, using their school as a practical example.

Goal
Inspire future advocates for public services. Foster a deeper understanding of the significance of public services in promoting equity and social justice.
Methodology
Students collaborated actively during 'Art and Rights' workshops, fostering a sense of collective engagement through the creation of a 'community of rights'. Using booklets as their medium, they creatively represented their understanding of public services and human rights, highlighting their shared commitment to these essential values.
Impact
The festival ignited a lively exchange of ideas and empowered young voices to advocate for economic, social and cultural rights, as well as the delivery of equitable and high-quality public services in Colombia.
