This November 20th starting at 8:30 am, the Community is organizing Children's Rights Day at the Sports Hall of the Jean Louis Vanterpool stadium. This date marks the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nations (UN) in 1989.

\nThis day reflects the commitment of the educational community to better raise awareness of the founding text of the Convention and the rights it sets out, among children, young people and adults alike. Knowledge of it contributes to the progressive construction of citizenship and the acquisition of a humanist culture.
