Human Rights Education
“Human Rights and Juvenile Justice Awareness Workshop 2025” successfully implemented
The program consisted of eight sessions, including four workshops for children, three workshops for staff, and one capacity-building activity. It aimed to strengthen knowledge of human rights and juvenile justice principles, support the education, personal development, positive attitudes, and future orientation of children, and enhance the professional skills, communication culture, and rights-based practices of staff within the institution.
A total of 34 boys and 25 staff members (10 women, 15 men) participated, with the workshops led by professional trainers Erdenegerl Ganbat, Nomin-Erdene Enkhtaivan, and Davaakhuu Batsaikhan.
For children, sessions covered topics such as basic human rights and their importance, law-abiding and responsible citizenship, mental well-being and decision-making, and self-awareness and goal-setting. These were delivered through interactive discussions, role-plays, and reflective exercises. For staff, training focused on child rights and professional ethics, stress management for law enforcement, and child-centered communication and behavior, with emphasis on international human rights standards, national legal frameworks, and trauma-informed, child-centered approaches.
On 15 December 2025, the program culminated in a “Well-being & Joyful Celebration” event, where children and staff jointly participated in artistic performances, award ceremonies, and engagement activities aimed at fostering positive relationships, motivation, and a supportive institutional atmosphere. Performances by Davaidasha, Desant, Babar, The ThunderZ, Maberrant, Mop-G, and singer Enji added to the festive atmosphere.
As a result of the program, children enhanced their understanding of human rights, personal safety, and responsible decision-making, while staff strengthened their knowledge and skills regarding child rights standards, professional ethics, and stress management. The program positively influenced child–staff relationships, mutual respect, and understanding, contributing significantly to creating a rights-based, supportive, and safe institutional environment.
Following the program, participants recommended continuing life-skills and mental health workshops for children, providing advanced training on conflict de-escalation and trauma-informed approaches for staff, and establishing regular human rights training within the institution. These recommendations highlight the need and opportunity to sustain and expand the program in the future.
