On 28 April 2025, Edmund Rice Foundation will launch an exciting new school-based initiative to drive engagement and awareness of social justice issues.

Doco in a Day challenges students to create a short film about a global issue — like gender equality, access to education or sustainability — in just one day.

But it’s not just a learning experience: students use their films to fundraise for life-changing educational opportunities in some of the world’s poorest communities.

And the best part? ​​​​

The winning team (and their teacher!) will experience a once-in-a lifetime immersion trip abroad to see the impact of their fundraising first hand.

Over 20 EREA schools and 6 EREA Flexi Schools have already registered. There is still time for EREA schools to register for the program.

We are so proud of the students who are stepping up to the Doco in a Day challenge — not just as filmmakers, but as global citizens.
