Artful Expression of Children's Rights: A Creative Exhibition at Querbeet Villa
The Querbeet Villa in Batenbrock was a buzz of activity on August 26, as an official exhibition of children's artwork showcased their exploration of their rights. The villa, which serves as a meeting point for children from Siemensstraße 20-28, was filled with sculptures crafted by fourteen participating children during the last week of their summer vacation.
Heike Urban, the social pedagogue and director of the Querbeet Villa, is passionate about children learning about and actively shaping their rights. She emphasizes an open and playful approach to children and youth work, which goes beyond purely academic methods. Urban's approach is rooted in the belief that an artistic approach sparks curiosity and enthusiasm among children when discussing rights.
The project, titled "A Labor of Love: Children's Rights according to the UN Convention," involved collaboration with the Nikolaus-Groß-Schule. The children used their sculptures to represent various articles from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Thalia, for instance, added a jump rope to her sculpture to represent "the right to play and age-appropriate active engagement," while Alara represented "the right to rest and leisure" with a pillow in her sculpture.
Statements like "That's none of your business!" and "I am a work of art!" were used by the children to reflect their rights. Heike Urban values the importance of art and culture in her approach to children's rights education. She states that everyone is warmly welcome at the Querbeet Villa, and the project does not limit participation to children from Siemensstraße only.
Heike Urban is particularly committed to children and adolescents by actively representing children's rights in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Her goal is to provide a creative and engaging environment for children to learn about their rights. She hopes young people will have access to art and culture, and she considers the project about children's rights a labor of love for her.
Urban's dedication to her work is evident in the vibrant and thought-provoking exhibition at the Querbeet Villa. The event not only showcased the children's artistic talents but also their understanding and appreciation of their rights as individuals. It was a testament to Urban's unique and effective approach to children's rights education.
