What kind of activities could be better than pretending to be an important organization that defends the rights of children - giving voice to them, playing to roll our dreams around the world?
During the week of the 20th of November , there is a special celebration all around the world –The world children’s day. On 1989 UNESCO adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 
We expressed it to the kids and we shared our ideas about rights, our dreams and wishes for all the kids around the world.

 

We made two activities, one of them was by pretending to be a big organization such as UNESCO.
 

In circle, kids rolled a ball to a friend, while they gave voice to their future wishes for all the kids around the world.
They wrote their wishes in Bulgarian, on a billboard prepared for the occasion by the volunteers.
Then, we repeated together "I would give every child …....." and we translated in english their wishes; In this way, we were also learning new english words and giving voice to our rights.

 

After that, kids had to draw their dreams and hopes fot the future -pretending to be the head of the organization which we previously built together -inspired by their hopes, dreams and imagination.
It was interesting to see the future dreamed Razlog and districts with: gift stores, a mayor that gives gift to the kids from a plane, Martians, angels granting wishes, a future full of love and nature and a lot of solidarity organizations!

​

A school atmosphere in which pretend games are encouraged,  or even just tolerated - taking on different roles - allows children the unique opportunity to learn social skills, such as communication, creativity, humanity and empathy.
