It’s World Children’s Day on November 20th, and as part of Ahlström Collective Impact, we are joining forces with UNICEF Finland to promote children’s rights and welfare.

The right to quality education is a critical part of this, as education can reduce inequality and poverty and contribute to societal stability and sustainable development – making it an incredibly important cause.

To raise awareness about this, we at M&J Recycling will celebrate World Children’s Day with a Christmas workshop for the M&J team and their families on November 20th. To the tune of Christmas tunes, we and our loved ones will make Christmas decorations from recycled materials while enjoying traditional Danish Christmas snacks.

Maybe our event can serve as inspiration for your own World Children’s Day activities, or perhaps you prefer to do something else. In any case, we hope that you will celebrate World Children’s Day too.
