What We Think | UNCRC, UPR, and UNCRPD Consultation 2021 with Children and Young People

In summer 2021, over 1,200 children and young people throughout Ireland took part in a consultation on their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).

We are pleased to inform you that the report on the consultation findings has been prepared and is being launched at 9.30am on Thursday 31 March 2022.

The event will be approximately 30 minutes in length and it will be streamed online.

We would like to invite you to watch live where possible, or if you cannot make it on the morning of Thursday 31 March, you can still watch it afterwards at the same link.

It is worth noting that the consultation methodology was designed in partnership with teachers to link in with the primary school curriculum as:

• An SPHE lesson looking at the Strand Myself and the Wider World under the Strand Unit Developing Citizenship; or
• A contribution to wellbeing promotion as a focus for the School’s Self-Evaluation.

The event is also relevant for the secondary school CSPE curriculum.

I samhradh 2021, ghlac breis is 1,200 leanbh agus duine óg ar fud na hÉireann páirt i gcomhairliúchán maidir lena gcearta faoi Choinbhinsiún na Náisiún Aontaithe um Chearta an Linbh (UNCRC), Coinbhinsiún na Náisiún Aontaithe ar Chearta Daoine faoi Mhíchumas (UNCRPD) agus an tAthbhreithniú Tréimhsiúil Uilechoiteann (UPR).

Cúis áthais dúinn a chur in iúl duit go bhfuil an tuarascáil maidir le torthaí an chomhairliúcháin ullmhaithe agus go bhfuil an tuarascáil le seoladh ag 9.30am, Déardaoin, an 31 Márta 2022.

Mairfidh an t-imeacht thart ar 30 nóiméad agus sruthófar ar líne é.

Ba mhaith linn cuireadh a thabhairt duit breathnú ar an imeacht beo más féidir, nó mura féidir leat é sin a dhéanamh maidin Déardaoin, an 31 Márta, is féidir leat breathnú air ina dhiaidh sin ag an nasc céanna.

Is fiú a thabhairt faoi deara gur dearadh modheolaíocht an chomhairliúcháin i gcomhpháirt le múinteoirí ionas gur féidir nasc a chruthú le curaclam na bunscoile:

• Ceacht OSPS ag féachaint ar an Snáithe Mise agus an Domhan Mór faoin Snáithaonad Forbairt Saoránachta; nó
• Tacú le folláine a chur chun cinn mar phríomhábhar den Fhéinmheastóireacht Scoile.

Chomh maith leis sin, tá an t-imeacht ábhartha do churaclam OSPS na meánscoile.
