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 4 - Completion & Evaluation

May 9 - May 27   2016

NEWSLETTER Monday May 30 (week 17)

Dear participants,

After a learning EDventure of almost 4 months the Learning Circles Children's Rights have come to an end.
 

• The LC wiki's will stay open for at least one more year, so there is time enough to enjoy the contributions of your fellow learners,
  feel free to add a comment at the bottom of each page :-)
• We are working on a compilation of all Circles and will share a link with you when this job is done.
• We will also make an announcement of the 3 winning letters to the jury of GTP and send them to Unicef. 
• Certificates are send to all teachers, in appreciation for all your efforts.
• A number of schools have also collected a sum for the reconstruction of the school in Nepal. We are very curious about your experiences; can you please send us an update in a mail this week to indicates the results the Maya Foundation can count on?

Based on your evaluations so far, we can see that students really enjoyed their Circle work. 

We appreciate your 'tips and tops'; they will help us to further improve our Learning Circles.

After summer holidays we’ll prepare the 2017 Circles. We already welcome you back and are looking forward to work with you again :-)

We kindly thank you and your students for all your hard work and impressive contributions.

Keep up the good work!!

With greetings from the GTP team, Natasha, Manon and Bob.

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'.
