Child Rights Education for Participation and Development Primary Prevention
Rights-based Direct Practice with Children Series editor Child Rights and You, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
About the Series This series provides comprehensive source material for teachers, trainers, facilitators and field workers in direct practice with children. It draws linkages among the foundation of life skills of self; psychosocial, sociological and critical theories of child development, childhood and family; the ideology of child rights; the methodology of direct practice with children comprising approaches, methods and skills, drawing from the professions of social work and counselling; and the preventative framework of service delivery systems for children, based on the public health care prevention model. Each module of the sourcebooks comprises appropriate concepts and theories for developing users’ understanding of specific topics, and recommends a range of relevant activities that they can adapt to facilitate participatory learning of different target groups in different contexts. Most of these activities have been piloted in the field by select development support staff of Child Rights and You and their project partners. This series makes a unique contribution as training and reference sourcebook for professionals and practitioners of child rights across the world, and especially in developing countries. Series Editor CRY—Child Rights and You (CRY) is an Indian NGO that believes in every child’s right to a childhood—to live, learn, grow, and play. For over four decades, CRY and its 200 partner NGOs have worked with parents and communities to ensure lasting change in the lives of more than 2,000,000 underprivileged children, across 23 states in India. CRY was founded in 1979—initially the dream of a young 25-year-old airline purser, Rippan Kapur. Rippan had a deep faith that happy, well-cared for children are the basis of a society worth living in, and that every single person or institution has the immense potential to be part of lasting change. Today, it continues to be committed to its vision for a happy, healthy and creative childhood for every child. Its goals and work on the ground include ensuring that children in CRY-supported programmes have access to free and quality education, primary healthcare, reduced rate of child malnutrition and that they are safe from violence, abuse and exploitation. It also works towards making sure children’s voices are recognised in issues that affect them. CRY’s reason for being is to ensure children can live, learn, play and express themselves, and to bring about lasting change in children’s lives. For more information please visit us at www.cry.org.
