WORKSHOPS

ACTIVITIES

Ice-breaking activities -

Rights of children

Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) - Ministry of children and education

• Cultural diversity: respect for people’s cultural origins and fighting against racism and xenophobia

• Inclusion: ensuring that young people with fewer opportunities get access to youth programmes of the European Union.

Topics: discrimination and non-discrimination

GROUP DISCUSSION - which engages the students in a process of critical reflection.

Students will have the opportunity to talk about what they experienced, reflect on their behaviour and in relation to human right values

Participating in an activity (concrete experience) followed by a group discussion (critical reflection) helps to build in the students an awareness of human rights values and reinforces positive behaviours based on these values (action).

We will use the manual Compass - A manual on Human Rights eductioan with Young Peole”, Council of Europe 2012 (revised and edited) (http://www.youthpolicy.org/wp-content/uploads/library/2012_Compass_Human_Rights_Educational_Manual_Eng.pdf)

However, human rights cannot be implemented through legal processes alone. Human rights are best respected, protected and appreciated when all of us understand them, stand up for them and apply them in our actions.

Outcomes

Our aim is for students to be aware of their rights and the rights of others. Catagories of rights.

Further we want to cultivate YOUNG PEOPLE to make moral choices, take principled positions on issues SO AS TO develop moral and intellectual integrity”.4
