Orphans and Vulnerable Children - CRIN

For this activity you will need:

 The flipchart pages and strips you have prepared

 Copies of Handout 2

To facilitate this activity:

1 Tell the group that you will be talking about categories of children’s rights.
Go through the four categories of children’s rights written on the flipchart pages you have
put up on the wall.

2 Have a volunteer come and select one of the strips of paper you previously prepared.
Have the volunteer read the right to the group. Discuss and clarify as needed, and then
have the group decide under which category the right should be posted.
For example: The right to a name and nationalityshould be posted on the Survival page.
Have the volunteer attach the strip of paper to the appropriate page using blue-tac or prestik.

3 Continue with all remaining strips of paper with rights written on them, asking for a different
volunteer each time. Clarify the examples as needed.

4 When all the rights have been stuck to the appropriate category sheet, open a discussion
with participants about whether they agree with each example being a children’s right.
If there is any disagreement, clarify and explain that these rights are, in fact, enshrined in law.
It is important that participants understand that children’s rights are human rights.

5 If the group comes up with additional examples of rights, add them to the appropriate categories.
