We are delighted to offer schools a creative opportunity to introduce young people to both British Values and the UNC Rights of the Child (RRS) which many schools encounter through exploring UNICEF’s Rights Respecting Schools Award. By participating in fun drama activities, students will be encouraged to discuss these challenging matters together, whilst also learning about why the UNCRC and British Values are seen as important steps towards providing a happier free existence for all.
Bigfoot’s programme aims to:
- Encourage students to appreciate the importance of understanding and, more significantly,
putting into practise all British Values at school, at home and within their communities. - Put all British Values into context regarding their implementation in 2014, following the 1215
Magna Carta and 1989 UN Convention Rights of the Child. - Raise awareness about Unicefs RRSA amongst teachers and young people so that they
understand where it comes from, and what it means on a personal, social, local, national
and global scale! - Challenge students to explore what a ‘right’ is and why it is important that the rights of a child
are upheld not only here, but across the world . - Excite participants so that they further investigate the UNCRC, as well as what their school can
do as a Rights Respecting School and advocate of British Values.
30 minute assembly, followed by 1-hour workshops for up to 4 classes from KS1 & KS2.
