To honour the tireless efforts of workers across various sectors while highlighting the importance of labour rights and dignity, the students of M.E.S. Indian School orchestrated the Labour Day assembly on May 1, 2024.
Students delivered a series of performances and presentations right from exploring the historical roots of the labour movement to shedding light on contemporary challenges faced by workers globally, thus providing an insight into the significance of the day. Students brought the essence of different professions to life through meticulously crafted costumes representing various occupations. From doctors and engineers to farmers and firefighters, the campus was transformed into a vibrant tapestry of diverse vocations, showcasing the creativity and enthusiasm of the students. In their costumes, students displayed placards carrying slogans on rights of labour, workplace safety etc. These visual representations served as powerful reminders of the struggles faced by workers worldwide and underscored the students’ dedication to social justice and equality.
