This presentation is aimed at my colleagues who deal with children in the educational field. It is best to do this at the beginning of the school year. This is considered a good opportunity for all teachers and teaching assistants to experience the sense of excitement at the beginning of the year. Additionally, they will have the opportunity to advocate for the UNCRC throughout the year in front of the children and their families. I prefer to give my presentation physically at school (during the internship) for two reasons. The first reason is to enjoy the atmosphere of the interactions of the activities, the second is to observe the enthusiasm of the audience, which they will use to defend children's rights at the end of the presentation. Before setting up our presentation, we need to set the goals and objectives of the session. Our objectives are:1. Know the importance of educators in the advocacy process2. Discuss the main problems and needs of children at school3. How can we address these issues based on the UNCRC?4. Our role in promoting children's rights1. Why do education professionals need to know about children's rights? As educators, we are in contact with children and their families almost every day of the year. Here's why; We play an important role in implementing the concepts of children's rights in society. Furthermore, school is considered the first open community in children's lives and their teachers behave as good role models for respecting children's dignity and integrity (What educators can do, 2005). For example, we can show them how we respect their interests and how we actively participate in our daily practice. This will be reflected positively in......middle of paper......g mechanisms. As you guide children toward understanding their rights, it is important to help build and maintain respect for their parents. Develop oral history projects. Ask the children to interview their elders born before 1971 about their experiences with children's rights. (Anyone born in 1972 or later would have turned 18 after the adoption of the CRC.) These oral histories could be published, broadcast, or made into dramatic presentations. Host talks, book and poetry readings or film festivals to explore, celebrate and promote children's rights. Around November, display books, magazines and posters on children's rights” (Schools and Teachers, 2010, para.1, 7 and 9). Finally, ask the audience to choose at least two tasks to do and write them down in the following action plan. Action By when? Who else needs to be involved? Monitoring?
