This toolkit is designed for teachers, educators and activists supporting children aged 12-17 in their journeys of reflection, critical analysis and action on child rights. It can be used in formal settings, such as schools, and in non-formal settings outside the classroom. It uses inclusive, participatory methodologies to engage, inspire and empower children to understand their rights and the rights of others, and to take action.
Through the activities contained in this toolkit, participants will gain a better understanding of their rights and how to claim them, in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). They will learn to consider all children as holders of inalienable rights, recognize that some children experience limited access to their rights, and develop a sense of solidarity with other children.
As a human rights education (HRE) resource, the toolkit ultimately aims to contribute to a universal culture of human rights by building the foundations of a rights-respecting society. To that end, it offers practical activities to equip children with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes they need to advocate for rights today and as they grow older.
