Introduction:
We have worked in groups to introduce ourselves in the form of posters, video's, prezi's etc. Hope you like our introduction!
We have had a class discussion about the questions on children’s rights and our teacher has written this report about what we had to say: What are you allowed to do? Basically everything we want. It’s hard to say what we are allowed to do, they (adults) usually just talk about what we are not allowed to do. What are you not allowed to do? Work (below the age of 14) Drink alcohol Smoke Drive a car (we can get our license at 18) Vote (in politics)
What do you have to do? Go to school Listen to parents and other adults There’s a difference between rules (from parents or teachers) and laws: we follow the rules of our parents and teachers because there are consequences if we don’t, but there’s no law that says we have to do this.
What happens if there are no rules There would be complete chaos, no one would be in control and people wouldn’t behave. Many kids wouldn’t go to school, which has consequences for the rest of their lives. There would be no reason to behave. For example: 19 of us would not go to school all of the time (but only part time) if we didn’t have to. 4 of us still go every day. What happens if there are too many rules It would feel like a prison. People would resist and there would be more fights because people wouldn’t be happy. You wouldn’t be able to have too much fun.
What rights do children have in the Netherlands? Children’s rights in the Netherlands (for 12 years and over)
1. The judge has to take your opinion into account in his decision. 2. You can appear in court if you break the law. 3. You can get an identity card without permission from your parents 4. You can register yourself as organ donor (with permission from your parents) 5. You have the right to hear what is happening to you medically 6. You have the right to join in the conversation for later treatments when you are ill 7. You can give your opinion about an adoption (so you can say no)
We think these rights are the same in the Western part of the world.
What should adults do for us? They have to give us food and take care of us. When they see that there’s something wrong with a child they have to help it. They have to go with us to the doctor They need to give us pocket money 😊 They have to treat us nicely
They have to do this because we can’t do this ourselves
What should the government do for us? I think the government make sure that every kid can go to school, but also that kids have some free time. Give money to poor children and families. There is no specific department for that. They should make sure that children aren’t hungry.
When were we happy, why and what do we need. When: When we get stuff that we like, when it’s our birthday, when school challenges us, when we go on vacation, when we get nice food, when lessons are cancelled, when it’s almost vacation, when we get good grades for a difficult subject. Why: Sometimes because we make other people proud. Because we feel good about ourselves. Because some nice things don’t happen often and it’s great when they do.
What’s the difference between wanting and needing? We want things that make us happy. We want a lot of things to make us happy, but we also need to think about the fact that they don’t have that much in other countries. • clothes • holidays • Telephone
We need things that help us survive. Sometimes we say that we need things but we don’t really. Because in other countries they really need things that we have enough of, but we just want more and more. •food • home • Water • Sleep • School
What are basic needs for you and why? Water: because otherwise we dry out. Food: because otherwise we starve and we don’t have enough energy. Home: protection, warmth, sleep. Education: because it provides you with a better future and helps you get the other basic needs.
Which rights do you think are fair and just for every child? Education, to not have to work, give their opinion, food, a home, free time, sport, music, loving family. We have to learn to get upset again, says Antony Lake of UNICEF. What do you think; would that help? To think about these questions we watched a video from a speech of one of the student survivors of the Florida school shooting last week. Emma Gonzalez getting very upset is very powerful and her message seems to be heard. If people don’t get upset no one is going to change anything because people won’t listen. When you get upset, people listen.
We chose this Challenge: We chose to do several challenges in smaller groups rather than doing one challenge with the class because everyone had different preferences. We ended up doing challenges 1, 3, 4 and 5.
Due to illness of one of our teachers we haven't worked on it as much as we would have liked to, but we still learned something and we are quite happy with what we came up with.
Our learning goals are:
To learn and think more about children's rights, focussing on a specific topic (i.e. girls' rights or education)
Our success criteria are: When after finishing the challenge, each group can teach the other groups something new.
Challenge 1: Why children's rights? By Arlette, Niya, Jolanda, Annabel and Haseeb
Challenge 3: Right to Education
By Lars, Ziaad, Miguel, Mila, Isabel
We created our dream school in 3D. We hope these pictures give you an idea of what it looks like!
Challenge 4: Protection from child labour By Tirza S, Tirza R, Elke, Erin, Sophie, Bas, Haris, Bram We created a poster and a powerpoint
There are girls who are married off at an early age, just like Zalyssa Kabore. She was obliged to marry a 30-year-old man, because that was one of their traditions in the family. As a child of 14 years you can not actually marry because you are still just a child. At that age you still have to sit at school and enjoy your childhood. Zalyssa was very sad and angry because she had to marry a man of 30 while she still wanted to finish her school. In Europe it is very 'crazy' to be married off as a child ... But in other countries it is more normal. In the end, Zalyssa persuaded her father to come out under the wedding. Her father has thought about it for a long time because it is a family tradition.
We asked people on the street what they think of it and the reactions were actually the same in general ... The Dutch think it is bad to hear that girls are married off at such a young age. They felt that those children had to finish their school first before they got married.

This is great! I'm wondering, what do you mean that teachers have robots to assist them? And eye recognition security? That's interesting. Are there issues around security? 3D models - nice! I love the posters on child labour. Thank you for talking about menstruation - we shouldn't be embarrassed by our bodies in any capacity. And the open letter is a great format - I like that you asked people on the street. Thank you.
