One of the greatest challenges that schools face is to define a clear set of values not just rules that has been developed with the full involvement of the school community and is actively upheld by pupils. MenelikEducation UK's Global Voices Scheme (GVS) helps schools to use the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) as the values framework that enables this to be achieved. The UNCRC enhances pupils' understanding of the consequences of individual and group actions on the rights of others locally and globally. It also serves as the basis for a shared vision which can enable positive environments, relationships and communities to develop. The articles of the Convention are based on recognition of every child's basic needs in order to thrive. The UNCRC therefore sets out a child's rights to:
* Survive and have good health * Be protected from any form of abuse
* Develop their talents and skills
* Participate in the world to which they belong
The UNCRC appeals strongly to children because it provides a moral framework that is appropriate for all pupils regardless of their faith or ethnicity. There is no moral relativism because the UNCRC derives from a universal agreement.
How does the GVS work?
MenelikEducation Global Voices Scheme is an international cultural exchange that harnesses the power of art, culture and language as a bridge to understanding and goodwill between UK school students and their peers around the world. MenelikEducation offers schools a unique opportunity to open their doors to genuine interaction with a larger world. The reach of MenelikEducation Global Voices is limited only by the imagination of the participants, and offers a much needed way to begin to broaden the range and depth of studies available to pupils/students. We can offer various services to schools and colleges, for example give talks on:
* Rights and Responsibilities (Global Citizenship)
* Contemporary African/World politics
* African/Latin Culture (films/documentaries/group discussions)
* Development Issues and Trade
* Ethics, and more.
We can also:
* Create partnership between our schools in the Democratic Republic of Congo (RDC) and schools in the UK
* Teach African/Latin dance workshops
* Prepare an African/world food buffet for the schools as a one of or scheduled occasions.
