What is Global Action Week?

Each year the Global Campaign for Education holds a Global Action Week to raise awareness about the need for universal basic education and the necessary actions of both rich and poor countries to achieve this objective. During Global Action Week children are linked to a world-wide movement through learning and activities which allow them to share and exchange information and experiences. This year's campaign focused on the World's Biggest Lesson, where an estimated 7.5 million youth participated in the exact same lesson about the importance of receiving a quality education.
