Students are to draw a cartoon featuring a character who experiences either a sense of belonging or a sense of exclusion. Prompts are given to encourage students to reflect on the topic in depth and to inspire their drawings.
During the discussion, students should reflect on the daily life of children and young people in Finland from the point of view of an imaginary decision-maker who is a child, considering what kind of social changes they would like to see.
Students are tasked with writing a short essay about a situation in which they felt heard. The assignment is supported by a slide show about the 2025 Rights of the Child theme.
In addition to children knowing their own special rights, it is important that every adult also knows what the Convention on the Rights of the Child is and what it entails. In this task, the children act as hosts while adults compete in a quiz about children’s rights.
