Description of the good practice

The workshop on “Children’s Rights” was designed to help students understand and explore their fundamental rights in an engaging and creative way. Activities included creating a poster and a “Tree of Children’s Rights” with illustrated cards. Students also participated in a role-playing game, embodying various rights such as a doctor for the right to health, a teacher for the right to education, and an athlete for the right to play.
