“To be able to live each day with honor, respect, and dignity is the greatest achievement of all.” – Dr. Roopleen.
Dignity is a fundamental human right. The concept of human dignity, at its most basic, is the belief that every individual holds a special value that’s tied solely to their humanity. It has nothing to do with their class, race, gender, religion, abilities, or any other factor other than them being human.
To acknowledge this, Global Dignity Day is celebrated globally on the third Wednesday of October, with additional events happening throughout the week or month of October.
Like every year, Primary II Campus, P.E.C.H.S also celebrated Global Dignity Day from 17th-21st October with an aim to educate our students about the concept of dignity and inspire them to ensure dignity for everyone in their community.
Students from all grades participated in the activities arranged for Global Dignity Day, which included:
- Making Dignity Day badges and cards
- Thematic Photography
- Short speeches on My Dignity Day Role Model
- Illustrating Dignity stories
Students from KG had their morning assembly on Global Dignity Day, where our Kindergarteners shared wonderful one-liner messages on the topic. A lovely Dignity Day song followed this activity. Apart from this, the students also made badges and cards for our support staff.
Primary II Campus, P.E.C.H.S also served breakfast to our support staff as a gesture of respect and appreciation. Our young students also participated in the activity and distributed the badges they made, which the staff happily wore.
Furthermore, students of Grade V prepared and presented an amazing play, promoting the idea of dignity and respect for all. We also invited students from the Rehnuma School, a non-profit project, to watch the play and enjoy various gaming activities along with arts and crafts.
Global Dignity Day aims to “instill a positive, inclusive and interconnected sense of value in young people that will guide them as they grow,” and we must make efforts every day to promote this cause.
