CE International Celebrates World Children’s Day
On November 20, Childhood Education International will join the global community in observing World Children’s Day, an annual day of action for children’s rights and welfare.
World Children’s Day is celebrated on the anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly’s adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child (1959) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989). The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history.
At CE International, we recognize that education is a human right and that all children have the right to a quality education. World Children’s Day is a day for children, caregivers, educators, government leaders, and others to unite to promote, protect, and celebrate this right.
World Children’s Day is also a day to emphasize the crucial support needed by educators, who play a critical role in the growth, development, and safety of the children they serve.

Social-Emotional Learning in Serbia
Partnering with the Center for Interactive Pedagogy, we are designing and implementing a series of training in Serbia that focus on social-emotional learning and character development, issues the Serbia Ministry of Education has identified as an issue of national importance. More than 160 educators in Serbia have engaged in hybrid trainings and will be forming communities of practice within and across schools to embed more social-emotional character development activities and approaches into their curriculum.
