Ask your friends in this project from other countries what kinds of decisions they are able to make for themselves. Ask other participants what strategies worked for them. As a class brainstorm a list of issues and circumstances for which kids would like to have some input. Break into small groups and plan ways that your ideas can be heard. Share these with the class.
Role play situations where kids are presenting their ideas to adults.
Support your suggestions with valid information. Think of something that you believe should be changed in your town. Write a letter to the editor of the local newspaper or your elected official. Use watercolor or any type of paint and design a poster for your room asking the other members in your house to respect your privacy. Write a poem that tells your parents what rights you think you should have at your home.
