"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
This is Article 1 in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted and proclaimed by the United Nations on December 10th, 1948. Children's Book on Human Rights - The Project run by the Malta UNESCO Youth Association and funded by the European Youth Fund of the Council of Europe takes the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and re-writes in child friendly language targeted at children age 6 - 8 years of age and turns it into a fun book with illustrations for distribution in primary schools. In its first phase the book will be distributed in Malta, Estonia, Bulgaria & Slovenia. With the help of further funding and collaboration we hope to take the project on the next level with distribution all over Europe. |
