WHY I CHOSE THIS TOPIC?
I chose this topic of Human Rights when at a staff
meeting we were discussing United Nations Convention on the Rights of the
Child, [UNCROC]. I have to say, that I knew little about Human Rights and
UNCROC and was not up-to-date with the latest information. From here I decided
to narrow my focus to Children’s Rights.
When I started to research websites, I was shocked at
how little I knew about Children’s Rights, considering I am studying to be a
teacher. The more I read the more I became interested in this social issue.
As a professional teacher I would like to think that I could make a
difference to the children in my Centre, therefore by researching this subject
I feel I can make a difference.
As I read through the information I began to ask
myself, how does the UNCROC convention on Human Rights affects communities and
early childhood settings around the world? What’s more how does this affect the
families, children and work colleagues in my New Zealand early childhood setting?
My next blog will look into the history.
A good choice of topic Deb. I look forward to reading your next post and learning something new from your findings. This is a highly relevant topic, as we are all working to be avocates for children, while providing quality care and education for our countries most precious and vunerable. I believe that in doing this we are making a difference.
