Sentence to think about : 'Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children'. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, Article 26.3)
An International Freedom in Education Day (IFED), an idea originating in France.
The aim is to promote the idea of the importance of free choice in education, and to spread information about the alternative ways of learning that are available, or are being fought for in many countries.
The focus will be on Home Education, but we also welcome alternative and free schools to take part in this global event.
The interest is increasing in Europe and internationally. Events related to IFED may take place throughout the whole month of September. On September the 15th, there will be many events celebrating Freedom in Education simultaneously in many countries all over the world.
This gives a possibility to highlight the topic "Human Rights and Home Education".
Please do not hesitate to spread the information about IFED as far as possible. We want to reach all corners of the world!
