To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Abidjan Principles which have become the worldwide reference text on the right to education, we are releasing a five-video series explaining what the Abidjan Principles are, entail, how they can be implemented and by whom. The series culminates with an animation video that we will launch on 12 February, as we hold our celebratory event which we hope you join!
Every Friday since 15 January, we have released one of the five videos of our series, celebrating the two years of the adoption of the Abidjan Principles. This video series aims to present the Abidjan Principles with some interviews of the various experts who contributed and some of the users and key actors. The last video will be released on Friday 12 February, the day we will celebrate the anniversary of the Abidjan Principles in a public event.
CELEBRATION EVENT: SAVE THE DATE!
On Friday 12 February, at 1:00-2:00pm ECT, as we launch the animation and last video of the series, we will celebrate the Abidjan Principles’ anniversary through an online gathering to reflect on the role of the Abidjan Principles in the coming months, in a context where education has been severely impacted by the pandemic and containment measures.
The event will be in English, Spanish and French.

On 13th February, it will be two years since the Abidjan Principles, that have since become the reference text on the right to education, was adopted by 57 eminent experts from around the world in Côte d’Ivoire, after a three-year consultative process, which hundreds of people from various constituencies contributed to. Since their adoption and worldwide recognition, the Abidjan Principles have given the right to education a central place in global policy debates.
In 2019, the Paris Peace Forum rewarded the Abidjan Principles as one of the ten ‘most promising governance projects’ among 716 projects from 115 countries.
The Abidjan Principles video series was made by Rainbow Collective.
