 Childrens Rights/Summary Report June 2012

 

Throughout the website on the World Forum Foundation the means of having numerous active programs as essential in educating and enhancing a child’s life.  Specific information that seemed of value and current I my professional development is the idea of advocating for Children’s Rights. Children’s Rights forum met in June 2012 in Moss, Norway which globally considered a passion for children and their initiative for  launching the rights for children and planning strategies for incorporating these goals. Their main goals were to ensure that each child’s voice is heard, approaching the matter in complexity,  seeing multiple perspective, being un-biased,  and being engaged for the work of the children.(Children’s Rights, 2012)  As educators, I feel that the overall need of listening to children can solve means of “controversy in the classroom. It cal alleviate certain dimensions and call for objective expression.

 Thinking of this issue in a new way, allowed me to realize the overall importance of the child. There are tons of theories and practices that are used to help children, however if we do not listen to them then how are they able to express their own needs? Having this method of advocating Children’s Right’s are entirely significant because we all make up this world.

This information calls for viewpoints through economist, neuroscientist, and politicians due to pointing out ethical dilemmas surrounding children’s rights.  It is also apparent through creating historical evidence and timelines along with implementation and incorporating existing resources that will coincide with creating more programs under this category.(Children’s Rights, 2012)  

 This forum called for great information that pertained to advocating right’s for children, and making sure that their voices are heard. It called for recognizing and appreciating different ideas from participants involved and creating a means for creating consistence success of Children’s Rights.

  3. Hi Adrea

    The world Forum Foundation is a great resource and their cause of fighting for rights for all children across the world. Even though there are children he that may be at a disadvantage, there are children around the world who are not even given a chance for a good education. We must help every child no matter where they are from.

  4. You made a very interesting point when stating that we have to listen to children in order order for them to express their needs. We as professionals can't assist those if we do not know what they are in need of.
