Magadan schools teach children their rights through interactive legal lessons

Magadan schools recently hosted a series of events to mark Russia’s National Legal Aid Day for Children. Students from different age groups took part in interactive lessons, discussions, and presentations focused on their rights and responsibilities. Experts, police officers, and public figures led the sessions, using real-life examples to engage young learners.

At Gymnasium No. 30, students attended a lecture on children's rights and obligations on November 21. Prof. Dr. Claudia Lohrenscheit and other specialists led the session, which was part of a series based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Through interactive discussions and practical examples, the children explored their rights to participation, protection, and recognition as active members of society.

The events provided students with practical knowledge about their rights and how to stay safe. Schools across Magadan used interactive methods to ensure children understood their legal protections and responsibilities. The initiative aimed to empower young people as informed and active participants in society.
