Join us for a LIVE assembly from a primary school for World Children’s Day! 


Join other children live from a school

We’re holding an exciting assembly for World Children’s Day – and for the first time, we’ll be broadcasting live from a school!  

Nicola Killean, Children and Young People’s Commissioner Scotland, is hosting the online session – with BSL interpretation – for children in primary 1, 2 and 3 on Friday, 20 November at 9.30am.  

She’ll be celebrating the birthday of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) with P2 children in a school near Glasgow. 

As part of our celebrations, all children who come to the assembly can:  

  • join in a fun musical activity  
  • find out why the UNCRC is important, and  
  • learn about their rights through a special rights storybook  

Commissioner Nicola said: “This assembly is a great way to take part in global activities to enjoy World Children’s Day.  

“We are so excited – it’s the first time we have tried anything like this and it promises to be a lot of fun, with maybe a little bit of chaos too!  

“We have held five online assemblies now with our partners at e-Sgoil, and thousands of children have joined us to learn about their rights. Teachers suggested we could focus on specific age groups in our assemblies sometimes, and this is our first one aimed at younger pupils.” 

Please join us live for World Children’s Day at 9:30-9.50am on Friday, 20 November!    

There’s no need to register in advance. Simply visit e-Sgoil’s Scotland’s Assembly – World Children’s Day to save the date to your calendar and join us on the day.
