World Children's Day

Today at our school we celebrated the World Children's Day. In class we talked about our rights and to appreciate the fact that we have our own rights because not in every country children can go to school, live in peace with others. We talked about different topics related to this, then we were divided into four groups and each team had a different task about children's rights, e.g. what can harm children who do not have rights like us, what can be done to change those rights in other countries. Each team gave their views on different topics related to this.
Finally, with the whole class, we summarized it in order to appreciate what we have because others may never feel that they have their own opinion.

World Children's Rights Day, which takes place on 20 November, is an important day for children all over the world. It reminds us that, as an independent subject, children have their own rights and needs, and as a mentally and physically immature person, they should be surrounded by caring care and special legal protection. Every child has its own civil, social, cultural, political and economic rights. World Children's Rights Day reminds us of the need to respect their rights to life and development, their identity, freedom, dignity and personal integrity.

Children, like adults, shall have the right to freedom of thought, religion and conscience and the right to profess their own opinions and to associate themselves peacefully. They shall have the right to live with their families or to have contact with their parents in the event of separation. Every child should be legally protected from physical and psychological violence.
