LEARNING MATERIALS


This section is designed to help teachers, parents and children explore the rights of the child using works of fiction. In the following short stories, a host of invented characters reflect on six basic rights.

Health
All children have a right to healthcare. In this story, Toba is momentarily interested in making a fortune by manufacturing cigarettes.

Care and Protection
Children have a right to be cared for in their own family, but what makes a good family? Find out in this adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fable The Ugly Duckling.

Identity
Two brothers, Keriga and Kerei, grow apart. But can both of them be right in this tale about safeguarding a cultural identity?

Education
Nabi works all day at a carpet factory but he soon learns that he has the right to a better salary and schooling.

Inclusion
All children have a right to be included in activities, whatever their abilities. Elizapedra and Juan Felipe are disabled but know how to play a serious game of football.

A Voice and Information
Every child has the right to express a view. Two children in a mountain village talk about the loss of their parents in an avalanche.
