Glenboig Primary has been a recipient of the Unicef UK Recognition of Commitment Award for their work regarding children’s and human rights, and is a designated Rights Respecting School. They have previously organised community collections for aid to Syrian refugees in Calais.
During the visit, Phil discussed children’s rights, the work the students have done to support Syrian refugees, the school council elections, and the work of an MP.
Regarding the visit, Phil said:
“I have been hugely
impressed by the work that Glenboig Primary and Laura Davidson, the Global
Citizenship Coordinator, have done to encourage students to engage with Global
Citizenship.”
“I was heartened to
see the empathy the students have for Syrian refugees and the effort they have
put in to do what they can to aid those in need.”
