Today is Children’s Day. In Tunisia, we celebrate it every year on 11th January. At Ennour Primary School, there are balloons in the playground and music in the classrooms.

👩‍🏫
Mrs JlassiGood morning, children! Today is your day. Do you know your rights?
👧
YasmineYes! I have the right to education. I go to school and I learn every day.

KarimI have the right to health. When I am sick, I go to the doctor.

OnsWe have the right to a name, a home and clothing. And we have the right to play!

Then the pupils make a big poster. They draw children from all over the world: a girl from Japan, a boy from Brazil and two friends from Tunisia. Under each picture, they write a right. In the afternoon, they sing songs and play games. Karim says: “Children’s Day is my favourite day of the year!”
