A collaborative Etwinning project

Activity title: THE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN

Brief description of the collaborative activity: The "Children's Rights" project is born of the necessity of making the students aware of their rights, how they were born, who and why. This project gives us the opportunity to compare our children to the difference in living conditions that exist in different parts of the world. Fables, poems, drawings, videos, songs, solidarity markets, food harvest to be donated to the poor will be the means that will lead us to discover the rights of the little ones. Comparing with their fellow travelers the child's living habits will be a very interesting thing for them and will broaden their knowledge. The aim of the project is to make children aware of their rights to make them better citizens.
