As part of activities to sign unto Amnesty International’s Human Rights Friendly Schools Programme in Tema International School, a one-day workshop was organised for selected staff and students. The selected staff and students constituted a working group who will be overseeing the implementation of the programme. Three resource persons facilitated the workshop and took the working group through the various modus operandi of the programme: what to do with it; how to approach; who should be involved and its numerous benefits to the school and individuals in the school.

The workshop was very insightful and empowered the participants to become conscious of the need to promote the awareness, education and protection of the rights of everyone related to the school – students, staff, and parents. Beyond the workshop, the working group will be facilitating student led projects aimed at making Tema International School human rights conscious and friendly.

On this note, the working committee welcomes parents who wish to contribute to its workings. Interested parents should content the CAS Coordinator, Mrs. Surama King (surama.king@tis.edu.gh / 0244615255) for further details.
