New E-Learning: Children’s Rights for Change

How can youth workers work with young people to realise and defend their rights? This new e-learning module from YouthLink Scotland explores a rights-based approach to advocating for change with young people.

The module uses the latest General Comment on Children’s Rights and the Environment from the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to explore making change globally, nationally and locally.

Throughout the course, learners will:

• Explore a rights-based approach to advocacy
• Understand the role of youth work within the advocacy of young people’s views and interests
• Discover various models, methods and techniques of advocacy
• Explore how to provide feedback on advocacy with young people
• Learn about the different impact of poor environment and climate change on young people
• Explore environmental change case studies

The course takes approximately 1.5 hours to work through and is free to access.
