The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is an important tool for improving the situation of all children in the world.<\/p>\n<p>More than 18 years after the adoption of the CRC and 60 years after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is time to take stock of the achievements and challenges. In particular, as globalisation expands and deepens, challenges of poverty, environmental degradation, child labour and migration take on a new dimension. Globalisation and the dispersion of power also means that states are only one among many actors.<\/p>\n<p>These developments challenge the concept of children\u2019s rights and asks for critical reflection on children\u2019s rights as a leverage for societal change. The reality of children\u2019s rights is much richer than a legal instrument and its implementation. In order to turn principles into practice, a multidisciplinary approach, which allows for multiple interpretations of children\u2019s rights, is needed. A critical reflection therefore strengthens rather than weakens children\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>The International Interdisciplinary Course Children\u2019s Rights in a Globalized World: From Principles to Practice wants to make an active contribution to the proliferation and promotion of the CRC and its underlying values and aims at critical refection on children\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>After a multidisciplinary introduction to children\u2019s rights, with a particular focus on the CRC, children&rsquo;s rights education, implementation strategies and methodologies will be explored. Five broad themes will be addressed from a children\u2019s rights perspective: Poverty, child labour, migration, armed conflict and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Participants are expected to actively engage in discussions. A collective and individual assignment are to be completed and presented during the course. Widely recognized experts from all over the world will facilitate the lectures and workshops.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A maximum of 40 high-quality participants will be selected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Course Convenors are the UNICEF Chair in Children&rsquo;s Rights (University of Antwerp), the Department of Social Welfare Studies (Ghent University), the Faculty of Social Work and Welfare Studies (University College Ghent) and the Institute of Criminology and of Social Law ( K.U.Leuven\/ Leuven University) in close cooperation with the Children&rsquo;s Rights Knowledge Centre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children\u2019s Rights in a globalized world: from principles to practice Linked with Call for applications for the International Interdisciplinary Course, Children\u2019s Rights in a Globalized World 2010.
