#MyFreedomDay

We are happy to have partnered with the CNN Freedom Project for its first #MyFreedomDay on March 14, 2017. Throughout this day, students around the world took part in activities within their schools and communities, to raise awareness about human trafficking. They were asked to celebrate freedom and speak up for those who are unable to. As a student, it didn’t matter what you did, as long as you did something! What does freedom mean to you? We take it for granted while others can only dream of it. This is what #MyFreedomDay highlighted.

We hosted a student panel in Geneva, Switzerland, on March 14, 2017, from 6 pm-8 pm, so that the youth were able to express themselves about freedom, and how they felt they could contribute to creating a world without human trafficking – or modern-day slavery. The event was open to the public and took place at the following venue:

Centre des Arts Auditorium
International School of Geneva
Route de Chêne 62
1208 Geneva, Switzterland
