Unicef resource on child rights and responsibilities (Feb 2009)

Last year Unicef NZ sent to the head of social studies in each primary and intermediate school a CD entitled Learning about Child Rights and Responsibilities. Aimed at years 5-8, the CD contains classroom lesson outlines "designed to help New Zealand children understand their own rights and responsibilities, and then link these to the rights of children everywhere". The CD includes ‘supporting images, videoclips, case studies, curriculum links and information about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.' Several teachers have told us that they have found the CD hugely useful. Order your free copy by emailing This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
