Children and Students Rights Project is directed to students at the age of 13-16. Its aim is to familiarize project members with children and students rights in European Union countries. There are documents containing students' rights in every school. Moreover, there are youth organizations which not only make sure that the mentioned rights are obeyed but also are actively participating in a school life. The aim of this project is to encourage students to exchange their experience connected with their activities on school grounds. Additionally, the task of this project is to present actions undertaken by them. A very important element of the project is to sensitize teenagers to examples of breaking children rights in modern world as well as present various institutions which may come to the aid of students.
