The agreement was formally signed on World Children’s Day
Over the last 11 years, this collaboration has enabled over 100,000 children in Madagascar and Guinea Bissau to go to school, and over a hundred schools to be built
The Parc d’atraccions Tibidabo and UNICEF are continuing their collaboration projects to promote and defend children's rights. Coinciding with World Children’s Day, the two organisations today renewed an agreement that dates back to 2012 and has made it possible to launch various programmes for children. The ceremony, which highlighted the joint work carried out over the past 11 years of collaboration, was attended by the Tibidabo’s director, Rosa Ortiz, and the chair of UNICEF Catalonia, Jaume Lanaspa.
During these years, the partnership has focused on guaranteeing the right to quality education for children in Madagascar and Guinea Bissau. It has enabled over 100,000 children to be schooled, and over a hundred schools to be built.
Participants at the ceremony to sign the agreement also included children in their first or second year of primary school at the Escola Nou Patufet, who offered a look at the children's rights mural they have been working on in the classroom. The work is part of a project that nearly 10,000 children from 93 Catalan schools have been working on to mark World Children’s Day.
In addition to renewing the collaboration agreement, Tibidabo will be offering an exhibition on children's rights in the CreaTibi Robotics room over the coming months.
A Tibidabo committed to education and children’s rights
The agreement with UNICEF Catalonia is one of the projects through which Tibidabo shows its more caring and educational side, with an impact beyond its facilities. The park maintains its model of collaboration with non-profit organisations to stand up for children's rights and education for students in vulnerable situations, among other things. This year, Tibidabo has also hosted 69 educational events, such as the STEAM activities jointly organised by BSM and the UPC, Fisidabo and the first ‘Mes de la Física’, which nearly 7,000 students took part in.
