Learning Circle 9

Welcome to the Learning Circle! In this worldwide classroom, we will discover together that children have rights that should apply everywhere in the world.

The right to a safe and loving home, where you can go to a good school, the right to live in a safe community where there is freedom to follow your dreams and much more... to be able to have a good and happy life.

In 1989, the United Nations set up The Convention on the Rights of the Child. During this convention, 195 countries made the agreement that children's rights should apply whenever and wherever, but this isn't as simple as it might seem. Luckily, more and more people find it important to fight for the rights of children. You can do that too, by raising awareness and showing that every child deserves a good future. 

In this Learning Circle, you can share your experiences, stories and opinions. We invite you all to learn and work together to make the world a better place. 

Phase 3 - Challenge 2

April 4 - May 8   2016 

NEWSLETTER Monday April 11 (week 10)

In the past week many more wonderful contributions were posted for challenge 1 and some schools made a good start in the second challenge. By providing an update on your progress in the wiki each week, we can all see what happens in the other schools. If there’s a delay, please let us know on your school page. We expect the other schools to place their contributions of the first challenge quickly, in this way we can really work together.

For most of you it is a normal school day today. In challenge 2, you will find out that in many areas it’s not so common to be able to go to school, even in your own region.

Fortunately, many people work with dedication for the right of children to education, just like you do in this Learning Circle. The future of children simply looks very different when they can learn together at school, finding out what their talents are and what they want to accomplish in life.

Nepal

Attention to the right to education is also possible by working on a common goal: a number of groups have already started additional funding actions to allow the rebuilding of a school in Nepal! In the Nepal Wiki you can report about the fundraising at your school, and find the latest information about our joined project and the bank account number to use for your donations.

A number of schools have responded very positively to our call to get in touch with the other schools.

Three simple ways for your information:

• We ask each school to give feedback to at least two other schools, directly on the school pages.
  With the links in the feedback schedule each school can get the attention they deserve.
  It's nice and important to know how others see and appreciate your work!

• By posting a comment at the bottom of the school page of the other schools, as many as you like..

• By making a Skype appointment; live contact via webcam or the IWB is so much fun! Read about it on this page.

Beautiful drawings and cartoons are posted in our Newsroom in Cartoonmovement.com.

Until Sunday May 8th is still possible to give your vote, in May we will show the winning cartoons.

Is your cartoon on your school page, but not yet on Cartoonmovement.com ..... please upload it quickly!!

We are looking forward to your contributions and creative responses.

Have a good week ahead, we send you greetings from Ukraine and Holland, 

Natasha, Bob, Manon

A school for Nepal

During the Learning Circle we will discover the current state of the Rights of the Child; and we can also DO something ourselves to improve the living conditions of our peers.

The building team of Maya Foundation, with Dutch and Nepalese builders need our help. You may want to think with your classmates and friends how you can contribute to the rebuilding of this school. You will get to know about the school and some of the students in the wiki. As an optional activity you may want to help by taking action and organize some fundraising to help Sajita, Bikash and Birsha get back their school. Every little bit helps!
 

We are looking forward to see your ideas in the 'Nepal Wiki'.
