What happened in Action Week 2008?
Local celebrities, opinion leaders and media turned up to the World’s Biggest Lesson; in each of the four regions: Quindio, Costa Atlantica, Antioquia and Cundiboyacense. These events both increased awareness and agreements on free quality education. Several members of the NGO community keen to lend a helping hand included Viva la Ciudadania, the Technological University of Bolivar and the Foundation Earth and Hope. Activities were coordinated by the technical secretariat of the coalition.

What happened in Action Week 2007?

A special forum was held between children, young people and the Senate and Senators from the Education Commission. Included in those attended was Leon Brillith Serrano Mallely, who later travelled to Washington and Brussels to present her wishes of free education for everyone to donor officials. The forum ended with a huge long human chain being formed in front of the National Capital Building.
