Once a year, UNICEF UK invites schools to take part in a 'Day for Change'. Education and fundraising go hand-in-hand when your school takes part in our Day for Change.

Day for Change usually takes place in February and focuses on different countries and development issues each year.

Find out more about Day for Change 2009.

A specially created FREE pack of background information, colourful photos and teaching activities is available in advance to all who register. The pack contains a CD-ROM with PowerPoint presentations, photos and activities.

In 2009 the Day for Change will focus on health and well-being in Papua New Guinea - find out more!
