United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

Place your Human Rights posters up around the room.  Looking at these posters, get into small groups (3 or 4 people) and brainstorm how individuals and world leaders can and should protect and honour these rights.


  • Can the rights in the UDHR be applied equally to adults and children?  
  • What are the differences between adults and children?
  • Do children need rights of their own?  Why or why not?
  • What rights should children have that adults don't need?

Homework
Each person will be assigned two articles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).  Create a poster for each just as you did for the UDHR.

Next Monday, we will have a speaker.  His name is Neil Tubb.  Neil founded Project Hope - a charity that aids orphans in the Township of Jo Slovo, near Capetown, South Africa.  To prepare for his presentation, please go to his blog and read about what he has been doing in conjunction with the Tableview Lions Club.
