Child rights action with informed and engaged societies
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Color It Rights! A Child's Introduction to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and Accompanying Teacher's Guide

0 comments
SummaryText
The "Color It Rights" colouring book and teacher's guide from Cape Breton University's Children's Rights Centre, Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada, are paired early child development materials designed to introduce the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC or "the Convention"). Each picture in the colouring book represents an article of the Convention. The colouring book is designed as a suitable teaching tool about the UNCRC for pre-literate children.

This resource uses pictures to present the UNCRC and to convey the meanings of Convention articles to children, with corresponding simplified language for teachers to read aloud. The production and distribution of this resource was funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada.

The teacher's guide, available in English and French, is designed to accompany the colouring book. It explains the UNCRC and why to teach it to young children. It gives lesson plans in the format: summary, preparation, and method, as well as reproducible materials for the classroom.
