About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I created this innovation after my mom asked me if I had ever heard of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. I had not heard of it and I asked my friends if they knew about it. None of my friends were aware of it, so I decided to create an easy way for people to share this information and increase awareness globally. I decided to make a video about the Articles of the Convention.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Educators can click on the links below to access the Google slides presentation, the video and the lesson plan outline. They can adjust the lesson plan based on their country, if anything is different. This would make a wonderful lesson for one classroom session, so that youth may learn about their rights.

The video can also be shared on social media worldwide to increase awareness about the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Youth will feel more empowered after learning about their rights.

How has it been spreading?

My friends have been sharing the video on social media, all over the world. I would like to share this with the media to increase awareness. I would love for educators all over the world to teach a lesson about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in their classrooms. I would love for youth all over the world to be aware of their rights and to have discussions about this topic.

If I want to try it, what should I do?
