Children changing the world

New Zealand Catholic school students have been invited to create projects in which they will take local action towards fulfilling the United Nations Global Goals for the world.

Some of our students will be selected to join 4,000 other children from all over the world at a Global Summit at the Vatican on 20-23 November 2019.  At the summit they will present their projects to the rest of the group. The NZ group will have fares, accommodation and food paid, so every child selected can attend.

Pope Francis will attend the closing ceremony and speak to the whole gathering.

Schools have already received publicity material on this project, and teachers are hopefully planning to introduce the project to children early next year.  New Zealand schools are well used to encouraging their students to create the sort of projects needed, and NZCEO looks forward to being told of many wonderful projects.
