The Children's Rights Education Curriculum consists of 15 units, each focusing on one of the general Convention rights. The purpose of this curriculum is to fulfill the obligation of dissemination that is outlined in Article 42 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child to make the principles and provisions of the Convention widely known, by appropriate and active means, to adults and children alike. 


The Curriculum is organized into 3 major categories:
  1. Provisions Rights: Includes the Survival Units - Introduction, Water, Food, Home, and Health, and the Development Units - Education and Play;
  2. Protection Rights: Includes Units - Love and Care, Work, Special Needs, and Peace;
  3. Participation Rights: Includes Units - Identity, Expression, Life, and Take Action.
