To deepen understanding about children’s rights and more specifically child labour, 4th grade students made paper bags to emulate the daily experiences of child labourers. In the afternoon, students watched a video on students taking action against child labour and reflect on their experiences.
Such learning engagements help children see that human rights are not just understanding the UN declaration on the rights of the child, but also about building palpable empathy for those in other circumstances.
This evening they will be bringing home one of these bags for reflection and discussion.
With their bag they can decorate it with a logo, words to describe today's feelings, put any ideas inside it.
We look forward to sharing our reflections.
We can...make a difference.
