This article links to Article 7 The right to a name and nationality. Please visit this link https://www.cypcs.org.uk/rights/uncrcarticles/article-8 for more information. Use the questions below to help you get started.

• Do you have a birth certificate? What kind of information can you find out about a person from their birth certificate?
• Do you have any other documents that help show your identity?
• What is your nationality?
• What makes you feel proud to be you?
• Can you always assume a person’s nationality simply by knowing which country they live in?
• Why is it important that people have a nationality as part of their identity even when they are living in another country?
• Can you think of anything else that makes you YOU?
