Celebrating Global Dignity Day

Global Dignity Day takes place in schools on the third Wednesday of October each year engaging students in a conversation on dignity. The aim is to make the concept of dignity tangible and understandable for each and every student. Defining dignity in their own words and sharing stories from their own lives gives students ownership of the concept.

In the light of this theme, Beaconhouse School System, Primary I PECHS celebrated the Global Dignity Day with an initiative to commend and encourage good practices of dignified and courageous individuals of our society. The purpose of celebrating this day was to highlight the fact that all people poor or rich and all occupations/jobs are bound to equal amounts of respect and have the same importance.

The event was attended by HOPE Zia School Students who deliberately participated in the activities arranged by Beaconhouse School System. The day started with assembly followed by welcome speech. The school management also invited HOPE’s school principal, Ms. Aisha Noorani as a guest speaker to speak on the philanthropic work of HOPE- an NGO in Pakistan under the leadership of Dr.Mubina Agboatwalla-child specialist in Karachi.




Students also presented Urdu poetry, poems and were engaged in different sports activities. The students did artwork and received gifts from the management along with refreshment. To appreciate and encourage future participation form HOPE’s school, Beaconhouse management also provided story books for the students who were not able to attend the event.







Every human being regardless of race, culture or social background has the right to protect his or her dignity. The day has been celebrated in communities all over the world since 2006.
