WHAT IS
OPERATION DAYWORK

The aim of Operation Daywork EO is to give high school and vocational school students the opportunity to gain an insight into the reality of developing countries by supporting an organisation that is committed to human rights. At the Action Day money is collected to provide financial support for the winner of the Operation Daywork EO Human Rights Award. The Action Day is promoted in partnership with companies and private individuals.

Operation Daywork EO is a pedagogical initiative addressed to young people which, through the awareness-raising campaign and the Action Day, aims at education, critical awareness and active citizenship for a “different world”. Students learn to take the initiative independently, think in solidarity and broaden their horizons to other realities. The youngsters start to deal with the history, culture and social situation of a developing country. This will enable them to get closer to and understand societies that are distant from them.

This initiative is successful when the young people realise that they do not live in isolation from other people, that they can take responsibility for others and that not all countries have the same opportunities.

The project depends to a large extent on the willingness and participation of many schools, sending out a strong signal of solidarity.
