This inquiry-based learning program supports student investigation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Through exploration of the UNICEF School-in-a-Box and a hands-on design activity, students can share their ideas and opinions, and develop their understanding of children's rights. Students will share their work with the group in one of the historic chambers of parliament.
Students will:
- explore the UN Rights of the Child and School-in-a-Box
- collaborate in small groups to complete a real-world design activity tailored to incorporate some of the Rights of the Child
- discuss their designs in one of the historic chambers of parliament
- consider how they can actively participate in our democracy.
