Overview of the 5 challenges: 1. Why Children's Rights? - 2. Autonomy & recognition - 3. The right to education - 4. Protection against Child labour - 5. Rights for girls & Equality
Introduction
Children's rights are about living conditions, opportunities and protection, just about everything children can experience. Family and parents, education, health, freedom of faith and expression are important for children, as well as the right to a name and a nationality. Children's rights are also about a safe home, time to play and protection against abuse and exploitation.
It is quite a challenge to find out how different the lives of children in the world are.
How do we face the challenges and what do we need?
All children's rights in the Treaty are classified in 13 themes. Students of 5 Dutch Montessori schools have chosen 5 themes or topics that appeal to them. Thanks, they did a great job! We hope that you, just like them, will learn a lot more about your own children's rights.
Step 1 - A conversation Why are children's rights so important to us? Why was it necessary to draw up a Convention or Treaty in 1989, with special agreements on the rights of children? Do children in the world of 2018 still need the same rights?
Have a conversation in your class or group first. Make a report or presentation about your ideas, statements and opinions and add it to your school page.
Step 2 - Choose one or more of the assignments.
