Il 20 Novembre del 1989 è entrata in vigore la Convenzione sui diritti dell’infanzia , ovvero un trattato che include tutti i diritti dei bambini . Da quel momento in poi, è stata fornita una nuova visione sui bambini come soggetti che avevano anche i loro diritti di rispetto e realizzazione.
La Convenzione sui diritti dell’infanzia contiene 54 articoli con tutti i diritti dei bambini, i 10 fondamentali per il benessere dei bambini sono:
Diritto a giocare Tutti i bambini hanno il diritto di giocare e divertirsi.
Diritto al cibo Tutti i bambini hanno il diritto al cibo e a nutrirsi adeguatamente.
Diritto di avere una casa Tutti i bambini hanno il diritto di avere una casa. Un luogo protetto, dove il bambino può vivere con comprensione, amore e cura.
Diritto alla salute Il diritto alla salute nei bambini è uno dei diritti fondamentali a cui ogni bambino dovrebbe avere accesso. Il diritto alla salute è un compendio tra il benessere fisico, mentale e sociale, e ancora di più nei bambini, che sono più vulnerabili alle malattie.
Diritto all’educazione Tutti i bambini hanno diritto all’istruzione, indipendentemente dal sesso, dalla religione, dalla nazionalità e da qualsiasi altra condizione. Lo Stato deve fare tutto il possibile per garantire l’accesso dei bambini all’educazione.
Il diritto alla vita e di avere una famiglia Il diritto dei bambini alla vita e di avere una famiglia. Il bambino, per il pieno sviluppo della sua personalità, ha bisogno di amore e comprensione. Crescere sotto la responsabilità dei loro genitori e in un’atmosfera di affetto.
Diritto di avere una nazionalità Dalla nascita, il bambino ha il diritto di avere un nome e un cognome.
Diritto dei bambini all’uguaglianza Il diritto dei bambini all’uguaglianza, senza distinzione di razza, religione o nazionalità. Questo ha lo scopo di garantire che tutti i bambini siano trattati allo stesso modo, indipendentemente dalla loro origine, dal paese in cui si trovano, o dal colore della pelle.
Diritto dei bambini di esprimere la propria opinione La Convenzione sui diritti dell’infanzia riconosce negli articoli 12 e 13 il diritto dei bambini di esprimere la loro opinione. Perché i bambini dovrebbero esprimere opinioni liberamente esattamente come gli adulti.
Diritto dei bambini a non lavorare Il bambino deve essere protetto da ogni forma di abbandono, crudeltà e sfruttamento. Al bambino non dovrebbe essere permesso di lavorare prima di un’età minima appropriata.
Dopo aver spiegato quali sono i diritti dell’infanzia e dell’adolescenza, si può affrontare insieme l’argomento con un piccolo dibattito sull’importanza dei diritti. Ho preparato alcune domande per stimolare la riflessione e il confronto. Ogni bambino potrà, poi, compilare una scheda con i principali 10 diritti dei bambini.
The so-called Lovers of Valdaro, also dubbed as the “Valdaro Lovers,” are a pair of human skeletons dating back 6,000 yearsdiscovered by archaeologists at a Neolithictomb in San Giorgio near Mantua, Italy, in 2007. The two skeletons appear to have died or were interred facing each other with arms around each other, thus reminiscent of a “lovers’embrace“.
Archaeologist Elena Maria Menotti led the excavation. Scientists think that the pair is a man and woman no older than 20 years old and approximately 5’2″ (157 cm) in height.
After the story made the news with a myriad Stone Age Romeo and Juliet headlines, the site had to be guarded night and day to protect it from the carelessly curious and would-be looters. Plus, the landowner still wanted to build his warehouse, so archaeologists decided to remove the entire grave. To keep the couple in their entwined position, archaeologists cut away and lifted the entire section of earth in which they were entombed. The whole burial, all six and half cubic feet of it, was then taken intact in a box to a Musei Civici in Como for further analysis.
The male skeleton (on the left side of the embrace) was found with a flint arrowhead near his neck. His lady friend had a long flint blade along her thigh, plus two flint knives under her pelvis. There was initial speculation that the weapons might have been the cause of death. Osteological examination however found no evidence of violent death, no fractures, and no microtrauma, so the most likely explanation is the flint tools were buried along with the people as grave goods. Given their discovery in a necropolis, it’s unlikely that they died by accident while hugging, to keep warm during a freezing night, for instance. They were found embracing because they were positioned that way after death.
The skeletons were displayed briefly in public for the first time in September 2011 at the entrance of Mantua’s Archaeological Museum, thanks to the effort of the association “Lovers in Mantua” which is seeking a permanent home for the ancient couple.
Professor Silvia Bagnoli, the president of the association “Lovers in Mantua,” has been campaigning for their right to have a permanent exhibit of their own.
According to Bagnoli, €250,000 will be enough for an exhibition center and another €200,000 could pay for a multimedia space to tell the world the mysterious story of these prehistoric lovers.
SETTING: Well known and characteristic cities and locations in Italy
SET IN: The Present Day
STRUCTURE & TONE OF THE STORIES: The two protagonists in this series are children and, despite their superhuman potentialities, they behave as such. They always travel accompanied by an adult, they never go out late at night and wherever they stay they’re in the company of relatives. It is within this context that the storyline develops in its own way. They’re not out to put the world to rights, yet they are endowed with a strong sense of justice and they seek to do good in the face of evil.
COLLECTION: Each episode is 44 pages long and is a complete and free-standing story.
Reading them in order is recommended. In full colors.
5 episodes ready for print.
THE PROTAGONISTS:
Mathias is a blond 10 year-old. He’s knowledgeable for his age as a result of his somewhat cosmopolitan education.
Anna is a freckly 10 year-old redhead. Orphaned at an early age she has an elderly bedridden granny. Lively, intelligent and with a searching mind, she’s the one with the sense of humour and sharp one liners.
