5. Project Steps

Step 1: My Right, My Voice
🎯 Objective: Identify and reflect on a fundamental right for students.
Teacher's Guide:

• Introduce the Convention on the Rights of the Child using accessible language or supporting videos tailored to the students' age group.
• Share concrete examples of situations where children’s rights have been respected or violated, using real-life testimonials.
• Encourage student participation by asking them to share their personal experiences about what makes them feel safe, heard, happy, or empowered.

Student Action:

• Ask each student to complete the following sentence:

"I have the right to... because..." (they can respond in writing, verbally, or through a drawing).

• Create a mural (physical or digital) featuring the students’ responses about the rights they consider important.
• Organize students into groups to choose a right that will be the main focus of their group project.
• On the project board, post a photo of the class showing the rights selected by each group for their project.

Step 2: Reimagine My Rights (Mandatory)
 🎯 Objective: Creatively express a better world for children.
Teacher’s Guide:

• Review and explain the rights chosen by each group (step1).
• Guide students through brainstorming ideas with the following questions:

1. What would the world look like if this right were respected everywhere?
2. Who protects this right? What happens when it is not protected?

Student Action:

• Then, ask the students:

1.  What issue related to this right do we want to change?
2. What could we create to inspire change?

• Offer several creative options to inspire students to express their ideas for change:

1.  Drawing, painting, or poster
2.  Comic strip or infographic
3.  Short play or stop-motion scene
4.  Poem, song, or spoken message

• After completing their projects, students can share their final version in a file, video, or photograph on the project board. Encourage them to choose the format that suits them best.
• Encourage student participation by commenting on at least two posts from other classes.

Step 3: Reflect & Celebrate
 🎯 Objective: Connect local action with global impact.
Teacher’s Guide:

• Ask students to reflect on the following questions:

1. What did we learn about children’s rights?
2.  Which ideas from other classes inspired us?
3.  How can we protect this right in our school or community?

• Optional: Invite a guest speaker, such as a school counselor or a child rights advocate, to give a brief talk on the importance of children’s rights.

Student Actions:

• Have students share a brief video or written comment on the importance of children’s rights, or draw/write about what surprised them most about the project. These reflections can be posted on the project board.
• Optional: Invite one or two teachers involved in the project to join a 20-minute virtual call to celebrate the students’ work and reflect together on the project's impact.

Assessment and reflection

• Use a simple reflection form or class discussion with these questions:

1. What right did I connect with the most, and why?
2. What did I learn from seeing how students in other countries expressed their rights?
3. What can I do to help protect this right in my school or community?

• Teachers can evaluate students based on:

1. Participation – Engagement in the activities and timely submission.
2. Creativity – Effort and originality in expressing the selected right (art, video, poster, etc.).
3. Collaborative – Openness to engage with other classes through comments and reflections.
4. Empathy & Understanding – Ability to reflect meaningfully on their rights and the experiences of others.
