My Voice-My School gives students the opportunity to share their ideas about education and their future. It allows students to have a voice in the development of global quality education as part of the UN Global Goals.

Students work on an advocacy campaign on one of the aspects of quality education and share this with their school, community, and national and international decision-makers.

The concept of a 'quality education' is embedded in the United Nations Global Goals 4 - Quality Education
