Children explored the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and considered how the ability to access health systems is linked to a child’s right to the best possible health, Article 24, freedom of expression and to freedom from discrimination.
we explored Global goal 8: Decent work and Economic Growth. The aim was to understand where and how clothes were made. pupils had to allocate £24 between the cotton grower, cotton buyer, weaver, factory owner and shop owner. This led to a discussion about equality and equity- UNCRC rights 24, 2 and 6.
In chapter 12 of Welcome to Nowhere the character Eman was introduced to Balil, who Omar referred to as ‘Mr Nosey’ as he scared Uncle Ali away at the start of the story in Bosra because of his political views. In this chapter we begin to see arrangements being made for Eman’s arranged marriage to Balil. The children took on the character roles of Baba and Eman to debate whether this was the right path for her. They identified and matched UNCRC rights of 2- non-discrimination; 5- right to guidance by family; 7-right to name and nationality; 12-right to an opinion; 14-right to have own views and 28-access to education.
