Children rights in the Czech Republic

Our Children Foundation implemented Children's Rights Support Project aiming to raise awareness about children's rights in primary schools (six-year-old to ten-year-old pupils) and on the rights and obligations of young people at secondary schools. As a part of the project a website for children www.detskaprava.cz was created, where children can learn about their rights through varius online games and quizzes. It contans necessary telephone numbers for children who need help or advice.

Children's Rights Support Project was addressed to children and young people, as well as their teachers, parents and the public. Apart from creating the website, the methods of raising awareness about children's rights included publishing professional brochures and publications, organising a cycle of professional seminars for teachers, holding moderated discussions with children and presenting the topic in national and regional periodicals, radio and television.
