We are equal, we have the same rights!
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project is based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified by the United Nations. It is the most important act protecting needs and interests of children. All children regardless of their age, sex, nationality, language and religion have a right to a harmonious development in all possible material and spiritual areas so as to be prepared for life in a society as happy adults. Children should be aware of their rights. There is no age limit from which children begin to understand their rights. This knowledge is gained in a long-term process and at first is more instinctive than acquired. Children who understand their rights are also aware of rights of the others and for this reason learn tolerance and acceptance. We believe teaching children about their rights will help them to deal with conflicts without violence, find solutions to difficult situations, set and obey the rules of communication among peers and build their self-esteem. Taking the Convention on the Rights of the Child into consideration, each of the partner schools will choose problematic issues characteristic to their local communities and school life. We will share information about local and national institutions in each country that fight for the rights of children. This will give us a possibility to assess our own reality and compare the ways the children's rights are respected in different parts of the Europe. We also think that the project will help to fight against stereotypes, prejudices, learn about other cultures through a direct contact of its representatives and also through foreign language development.
