THE TEACHER: CONDUCTOR AND DEFENDER OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
Abstract
Democracy requires citizens able to recognize and understand their rights and responsibilities they have towards themselves, the community and the state. If children learn to respect the rights of others, they show respect for themselves, also show the value of citizenship. Education of children's rights aims to prepare children for a world where every individual is valued, free and able to participate in personal development and a sustainable society. Education on children's rights aims to encourage the acquisition of knowledge, forming democratic attitudes and habits. This education is highly influential in the formation of individuals for what each of us can change things and each of us can choose what we can do, what not to do and how to act.
Knowledge, attitudes and experiences are cultivated in pedagogical situations. Therefore, to have a successful teaching of human rights we should have a kindergarten that is based on values of democracy, equality, justice, individual freedom, responsibility. The teacher should develop in children the necessary knowledge and skills to facilitate their combination in the world of tomorrow, confidence and tolerance, cooperative and interdependent behaviour.
The education of rights is introduced everywhere in teaching, extracurricular activities, excursions etc. The concepts of rights and responsibilities, the child learns only through concrete provisions. When the child performs a task, he is also exercising a right. Every child needs trust and confidence. To respect the freedom of the individual, to ensure equality, trust in justice, to protect the diversity is very important the adaptation of features and circumstances created, by exploring space, but also set limits to not affect the freedom and rights of another, so my freedom ends where another's freedom begins. Within the group in addition to individual freedom, it should be guaranteed the freedom, security and trust of all the children.
