World Children's Rights Day (20 November2022)

We are running an eTwinning project called "The Democratic School "In My Dream" in the academic year 2022/2023. The eTwinning project allows collaborative and collaborative learning among students in Europe through their teachers. There are schools from Italy Our project is about the democratic participation of children and young people in life, especially in the decisions taken about their own lives, based on the "Right to Participate" in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is the starting point of our project, was accepted and opened for signature by the United Nations General Assembly's decision dated November 20, 1989 and numbered 44/25. It entered into force on 2 September 1990, pursuant to Article 49. Turkey signed the Convention on 14 September 1990. (https://www.unicef.org/child-rights-convention)

In 1989, world leaders made a historic commitment to the world's children by adopting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, an international treaty on childhood. It has thus become the most ratified human rights convention in history and has helped transform the lives of children around the world. 20 November has been declared as Children's Rights Day by Unicef.

However, today, there are still children in the world who cannot live a full childhood despite this contract. Most children end their childhood. It is still among our duties to demand that the parties to the Convention, business and community leaders fulfill their commitments and take decisive action for the rights of the child. For this reason, we want to contribute to the young people's learning about the Convention by "joining the call of Unicef" within the scope of our eTwinning project "The Democratic School "in My Dream", which is about the democratic participation of young people in life. All partners of our project will participate in this call in their own countries in similar ways (https://www.unicef.org/world-childrens-day)
