In Lithuania, officials plan to give copies of the “Child’s Constitution” to over 28,000 first-grade students when the school year begins in September.

The guides will introduce young people to their basic rights and responsibilities. Ilma Skuodienė, head of the State Child Rights Protection and Adoption Service, said the annual distribution supports the development of a civic-minded and conscious younger generation.

The service also created guidance for teachers, offering advice on discussing rights and responsibilities with children and suggesting ways to include these topics in lessons. These resources aim to help educators approach the subjects in a way that resonates with modern students. The “Child’s Constitution” is available to everyone in multiple formats.

People can access the free publication in Lithuanian, English, and German, as well as a video version, a coloring book, posters, and other materials through the child rights e-library.
