Write a poem for Sarah and Seán
Did you know that in Greece, you can go to jail for trying to save a life?
It happened to Sarah Mardini, 24, and Seán Binder, 25, when they volunteered as rescue workers for an organisation in Lesvos. Their job was to spot boats in distress at sea and help refugees.
They are accused of spying, people smuggling and belonging to a criminal organisation. If found guilty, Sarah and Seán could go to prison for 25 years.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was adopted in the UN General Assembly on the 20th November 1989. It provides all children and young people under the age of 18 with many legal freedoms, including the right to a voice, to express themselves and to participate actively. As we celebrate the UNCRC’s 30th birthday, why not ask your students to use their voice to take the Make a Difference in a Minute challenge and write a poem in support of the Write for Rights Campaign for Sarah and Seán.
