Description
The action “Journey of the European Child Forum“ is envisaged to contribute to the improvement of knowledge and development of responsibility of large number of people from Liburnian area, with respect to children's rights and the need for knowledge. The project is expected to achieve richer knowledge of children's rights (UN Conventions)), and our objective is to achieve more efficient realization of those rights, respect for other rights and responsible behavior towards themselves (children) and others. The project will address these challenges through workshops where children will learn about their rights, they will learn that they are obliged to respect the rights of others and how to act responsible in future . The children will benefit from this project through educational and creative workshops in which they devise ways of traveling through the world of children's rights and responsibilities (making a leaflet about the forms of children's participation, booklets action, memo cards on children's rights, a map of the world on the state of children's rights).
