International Friendship Day (DIY resources)

Description

Mark International Friendship Day 2027 with a refreshed DIY, school-based programme that invites students to deepen their understanding of friendship, empathy, and global connectedness. Through dynamic, hands-on activities and guided group interactions, students exchange perspectives, navigate differences, and build collaboration skills. The experience encourages them to recognise how respect, openness, and thoughtful actions can strengthen relationships—within their school community and in an increasingly interconnected world.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise the importance of International Friendship Day and how building friendships across cultures helps strengthen communities.

  • Practise empathy and respect by working together in group activities that encourage inclusivity.

  • Appreciate both differences and common values that connect people locally and around the world.
