Children's Rights Around the World

Purpose & objective

Students will be Introduce to the United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It is important to take into consideration what the students know about the topic. The students will be assigned a specific children's rights topic (e.g., education, healthcare, protection from violence). Explain the project's goals and expectations.

For the research and exploration, the students will use digital resources such as: websites, videos, or articles to identify examples from different countries where these rights are upheld or violated.
The students will be encouraged to communicate with peers from other schools (video conferencing) to gather information and diverse perspectives.
In class we will discuss the importance of responsible digital citizenship.
They will also learn about online safety, and respecting privacy.
Each group will create a digital presentation or multimedia project (e.g., videos, posters, infographics) that highlights their chosen children's rights issue, encouraging creativity and the use of technology tools (e.g., PowerPoint, Canva, iMovie) to enhance their presentations. As a global collaboration our classroom will connect with classrooms or organizations in other schools working on similar projects. We will arrange virtual meetings or collaborations to share findings and perspectives.

Each group will be encourage to present their video games to the class,the school community, parents, and local organizations.
