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.
