Part 3: Documents and Teaching Materials

Living Democracy » Textbooks » Part 3: Documents and Teaching Materials

On the following pages there are important docu­ments on the theme of children’s rights for use in lessons and guidance on how to use them. They are: a pupil’s version of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1), possible groupings of the children’s rights into four dimensions (2), the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child of 20 No­vember 1989 (3), as well as children’s rights cards to be copied and used in lessons (4). The defin­itions used in the pupil version of the children’s rights convention correspond to those used in the short texts on the children’s rights cards. A wealth of further material for use in lessons can be found on the internet.
