Video series on the Abidjan Principles: Towards the second anniversary

The Abidjan Principles turned two on 13 February 2021. To commemorate this historic period for the right to education, we released a series of five videos, every week from 15 January 2021, until the anniversary of the Abidjan Principles on 12 February 2021. The first four videos contain testimonies from the main actors that were involved in the Abidjan Principles, with many being shot during the conference itself. The last video is an animation presenting an overview of the Principles. You can find the new videos on our You Tube channel.

The five videos are now available in French; the Spanish videos will be available soon!
