Class Charter: Children's Rights in Our Classroom

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) sets out the rights every child has. Read the child-friendly version of the CRC together. Choose two or three rights that matter in your classroom. Share your country, class age range and chosen rights.

Ask each child what helps them learn and feel included. They can write, draw or speak in their own language. Gather every answer before discussing the ideas. Share the themes without names.

Turn the children's ideas into a few classroom promises in their own words. Keep disagreements visible and let children choose whether to sign. Share your charter as a poster, drawing or short video.

Look at charters from other countries. Reply to two classrooms with an idea your class liked or a question. Choose an idea to try in your own classroom.

Keep using your charter throughout the school year, not only during the project. Come back to it often, ask children what is working and update it together whenever it needs to change. Share what changed and credit any classroom that inspired you.
