1. Child Rights Education

1.1. Purpose

Good Neighbors Indonesia, a children advocacy NGO, considers children's rights education is

recognized as the first step of human rights education. Children are the first group, the first rights

holder and the first learners of human rights education. Children have to be educated about and in

children rights. Children are the subject of their own rights, with rights and responsibilities appropriate

to his or her age and stage of development. The child has become the holder of legally binding rights.

The Convention on the Rights of the Child indicates that children's rights are human rights. Children's

rights are not special rights, but human rights for the most vulnerable group. Children's rights are not a

question of favor or kindness to children or as an expression of charity. They generate obligations and

responsibilities that we all must honor and respect.1

A childrens rights culture in school involves not only learning about these principles but becoming

aware that ones personal behavior should also reflect respect for human rights. Childrens rights

education intends empowering to children, providing them with opportunities to exercise their rights

and responsibilities in ways adapted to their interests, concerns and evolving capacities.

The main goal of the project is the strengthening of respect for childrens rights and fundamental

freedoms and the promotion of understanding, tolerance, gender equality and friendship among all

nations, indigenous peoples and racial, national, ethnic, religious and linguistic groups

Childrens rights education will be performed through three dimensions:

(a) Knowledge: provision of information about human rights and mechanisms for their protection;

(b) Values, beliefs and attitudes: promotion of a childrens rights culture through the development of

values, beliefs and attitudes which uphold childrens rights;

(c) Action: encouragement to take action to defend childrens rights and prevent childrens rights

abuses.

2. Child Rights Awareness (CRA)

2.1. Understanding of CRA

Program title: Child Rights Awareness(CRA) Program target and time: Primary school grade 4~5/ 1session, 50 minutes Object

Understanding and awareness of child rights can be increased as implementing child rights education

to lower grade students of primary school. Children understand their own rights and others rights as

main actor of right, then this program contributes to promote their rights and to help qualitative

improvement of life.

1) CRA based on CRC

CRA is based on UN CRC which is method and standard to protect child rights.

This program consists of CRC establishment background, 4-3-1 principles and some agreement. Child

can be looking for a way to protect and implement the rights in life as understanding CRC which is

introducing practical child rights, and as understanding his/her own and others rights.


7/35

2) CRA to emphasize on awareness and implement of rights by themselves

CRC more emphasizes on respect of an opinion and a right to participate. This has an important

meaning that child can form their ability of right exercitation and of autonomy, also take a role of

member of family, school, and community. This program helps to develop them as member of

democratic society by teaching them to acknowledge and assert their own rights and speak out their

opinion and participate in the area they belong to.

During primary school period children show remarkable social and intellectual development and they

will learn a basic skill in a culture they belong to. Their environment boundaries also become wider;

they are affected by friends, teacher, book, and mass media and acquire a pattern of behavior.

CRC (Convention on the rights of the children)

Right to survival: These are rights to the resources, skills and contributions necessary for the

survival of the child. They include rights to adequate food, shelter, clean water, formal

education, primary health care, information about their rights. These rights require not

only the existence of the means to fulfill the rights but also access to them. Specific

articles address the needs of child refugees, children with disabilities and children of

minority or indigenous groups.

Right to protect: These rights include protection from all forms of child abuse, neglect,

exploitation, and cruelty, including the right to special protection in times of war and

protection from abuse in the criminal justice system.

Right to development: These are rights to the resources, skills and contributions necessaryfor the full development of the child. They include rights to leisure and recreation,

cultural activities and information about their rights. These rights require not only the

existence of the means to fulfill the rights but also access to them.

Right to Participate: Children are entitled to the freedom to express opinions and to have a

say in matters affecting their social, economic, religious, cultural, and political life.

Participation rights include the right to express opinions and be heard, the right to

information and freedom of association. Engaging these rights as they mature helps

children bring about the realization of all their rights and prepares them for an active role

in society.

them for themselves but rely on adults. However, there are some needs that they can ensure that they

do not deprive any other child of.

Time: 25 minutes Explanation of Roll

1) 4 Rights roll

Total composition: total 18 pieces of rolled paper

16 pieces (4 pieces for survival, 3 for protection, 3 for development, 3 for participation, and 2 pieces

for general section) and 2 pieces of black paper.

Difference between Need and want

Needs: Need is something which is essential for you irrespective of your conditions. These are

the things you have to take care first and only then come other things which you can do

without.

Wants: These are things which you wish to have, but they are not above your needs. For

example, bicycle is a want, when compared to clean water, or education. You can live your life

without bicycle, but clean water is vital.

1. Survival

Feedback: If we dont have a name, we dont know each other, maybe we just call someone, hey,

boy who were red teeshirt. If we dont have nationality, we dont know when we are going to be

expelled to outside of country, so cant live safely. And we dont know who we are, we cant go

travelling to another country. Isnt it so important that we have name and nationality.

My promise:

Ill call my friend their own name which is precious, not their nickname.

The right of survival, article7,8-name and nationality,

Which one is correct about name and nationality?

1. Living without a name and a nationality is not inconvenient.2. People doesnt know me If I dont have a name and a nationality.3. Everyone has a name and nationality.


18/35

Feedback: The reason we do health care is to check whether our organs work well and how much

we grow up physically. What can we do more to be grown healthy? We should keep our body

clean, right? We wash our hands and body when you are back from outside, and you should eat

this and that, not pick and choose what you eat. Can you do that?My promise:

I wash my hands and body when I am back from outside, so I protect my health.

Article 24. Nutrition and Sanitation

To grow up healthily, we need nutritive foods, safety home, warm clothes and so on. But, there are

children who are in hunger, even cant have a meal a day near us and in several part of world.

What can we do for this children?

In South Korea, 1000 rupia is small money that we cant buy a gum, but one meal in Kenya, 20

eggs in North Korea, and 1 Liter of milk in Nepal. Everybody can be happy by helping those

children. Isnt it difficult?

My promise:

Feedback:

Dont you want to live peaceful and safe world without war? But there are still wars among

nations and endless quarreling by the intestine affairs of the nation with various reasons. South

Korea is in truce, Korea is divided into two Korea; South Korea and North Korea. As you see the

picture, people in war do not seem happy. War takes precious life and destroys a base of life.

Especially, children is more in pain. A lot of children lost their parents and are forced out to go to

war unavoidably. Everyone have a right to live at the place there is no war.
