This week we will be exploring Article 6 to help us understand the significance of Harvest and World Food Day, celebrated next week on the 16th of October.
Article 6: life, survival and development
Every child has the right to life. Governments must do all they can to ensure that children survive and develop to their full potential.
To help you understand these articles in a little bit more detail, try one of the activities below:
Activity 1Â
Draw an outline of an adult (duty bearer) and label your picture with everything they should do to help you survive and develop. How do these things change over time?
Activity 2Â
Can you think of three things that you can do now that you couldn’t do when you were younger? Share your ideas with your friends. Perhaps you can create a timeline showing what you could do when you were different ages – remember though, that everybody develops at different speeds.
Activity 3Â
Choose a key word from Article 6 such as LIFE, SURVIVAL, DEVELOP or POTENTIAL and write an acrostic poem to explain how this right can be achieved for you.
