Safety.
Lot often sees and hears stories of children who live in fear. Children who do not have a safe home, or even live in war. Can you imagine never being able to play safely in the street?
Article 27 of the United Nations Children's Rights Charter says that all fathers and mothers should care for their children. But this cannot or does not always happen. In many countries, countless children are living on the streets.
Task 1:Questions and Research:
'Feeling safe' Discuss deeply with each other:
- Create a three-dimensional piece of art that symbolizes peace and security for you. Please make this together in a small or larger group. - Present your creation in the wiki with a description, photos, video or in any other way you choose.
Task 2:
Every child has the right to be protected and feel safe. This is not the case in every part of the world; in more than 30 countries children live in a war or deal with the consequences of a war.
Read this story and carefully discuss it with your group members:
There are countries in which many people live for years in a civil war or where neighbouring countries are in conflict. Different groups are fighting each other to obtain power and control the country. Sometimes there are armed struggles and tensions are high.
Please take a look at this site:
After looking at these websites, you'll continue to study the situation in one of the conflicted countries. You can also divide the class into groups and choose several countries.
1. Explain what the causes of the conflict that you studied are:
Mention the sources you used (name, organisation, URL).
2. What are the consequences for the children in that country or region ?
3. Write a letter to the governments or leaders of the involved parties in the conflict:
Discuss how you can present your research in the wiki.

Additional questions and answers.If during the challenge phase students come up with additional questions they would like to ask to their fellow students, we welcome them to post their questions. Yet, remember that asking for "facts and figures" stimulates students to just Google the answer. Values, opinions, interviews, ranking their findings will stimulate students to think critically. Please take into consideration possible cultural differences and post questions that are 'open' and initiate research. |
