Child rights in your classroom
Since 2015, IICRD has offered elementary class-based workshops with hundreds of
students through the Child Thrive program. To continue with these efforts, we have
adapted this program to offer this website to support teachers to adapt child rights education in your classrooms. In this site you will find Educator Lesson Packages for Kindergarten through to Grade 5 classes, including:
● Suggested lesson plans
● Activity materials/handouts
● Links to videos and additional resources that you can use to engage your students this year.
