COURAGE SCHOOL LESSON PLANS
To make the Courage Child Protection & Empowerment training material accessible in the school environment, we have developed a range of lesson plans that can be run over standard school lesson times of between 30 and 60 minutes. Each theme below has an introductory presentation for the teacher to present to their class and then a lesson plan booklet that can be completed individually or in groups by learners.
CHILD PROTECTION LESSON PLAN
The School Presentation explains what child protection is, why it is important, what children’s rights are, and the child protection process to be followed in the event of any forms of child abuse, neglect or exploitation. There is also a fun interactive rights and responsibilities game that you can play at the end of the presentation. Please download the presentation below and be sure to read the speaker notes to help you present.
