Prepare My Voice for Change CREATE FOR CHANGE

In preparation for Changemaker Day, students can make decorations, posters, and placards that are later used in the activities My Voice for Change and the Round the Globe for Change Here, girls in Nepal are preparing for a festive day.

Students decide which child rights issues they want to draw attention to, where you live, and in your country. Based on their new knowledge and insights, they can produce essays and poems, as well as short placard messages and speeches for Changemaker Day!

Everything that the students produce can later be used in the activities My Voice for Change and Round the Globe for Rights and Change. You can connect this work to school subjects, such as languages, arts and social studies.

During the work on this year’s WCP Program, the students explore many different child rights issues in The Globe that are linked with calls to action such as:

• Children have a right to education.

• Girls have equal rights.

• Protect children against violence.

• Stop climate change.

• End child marriage.

• Children need a safe home.

• Health care for all children.

• Protect refugee children.

• Stop child labour.

Children choose

Now, your students have a chance to make their voices heard. They choose what they want to say to friends and family, neighbours, local leaders and the media. Use the method on p. 5 to help students find the best way of formulating messages about what is most important to them.
