Extra game information

The 'Camera Catchers' poster

The 'Camera Catchers' poster is the overview poster for the right to protection. The poster zooms in on the protection aspect present in the stories of the five main characters of the toolkit. The panel is designed as a security room, where security cameras allow you to look at the stories with a 'right to protection'-lens. On the left top side of the panel, all the separate rights linked to the right to protection are listed. The QR code on the right-hand side of the panel links to an audio story that gives a good introduction to start up the conversation on the right to protection with your target group.


All children's rights icons used on the posters are created by UNICEF for their child-friendly version of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.


This game is based on the following game https://play.street-smart.be/en/game/view/1013 and can be used to discuss how COVID-19 has affected the right to protection for children and young people.

Variations

Focus on specific locations: select one location on the risky situations panel (f.ex apartment) and write down all the risks that children face during a pandemic in that specific location. Reflect with the kids on how this location would like look in times of a pandemic.
