- comments:
- The targeted users of the stated lesson learnt are the implementing partners, participating CSOs, Government departments, project staff, DCLC and CCLCs.
- challenges:
- Some of the negative issues /challenges related :
1. Unwilling teachers/coaches to assist children develop sketches, plays and skits;
2. Desire by the actors/ performers to demand for compensation; and
3. Lack of performing costumes for use in drama, dances etc.;
- success:
- Some of the positive issues relate to:
1. 2847 children, majority between7-14 that were prevented, the children were taken back to school;
2. Most of the communities in Kaoma and Nkeyema, including those not serviced by the project, are aware of child labour. There is also demand for the project to be extended to other communities that are not serviced by the project;
3. TOTs for peer educators were conducted and the programme was rolled out to children in various areas sites; and
4. Child Labour champions (Headmen) were identified, in Nkeyema.
- context:
- Children prevented and withdrawn from child labour understand the subject matter than those who were not involved. The use of these children to depict the evils of child labour invokes emotions among parents/guardians and community members. The stated lesson requires the following to be achieved:
1. Teachers who are conversant with SCREAM model;
2. Support of the groups by all stakeholders;
3. Involvement of local community structures, wiling citizens who are willing to be champions against child labour;
4. Use of school structures as arena for performance; and
5. Commitment project staff.
- description:
- Creativity and innovation are necessary for effective awareness-raising and implementing child labour activities
The use of prevented/ withdrawn children in dances, sketches, plays, and drama as performers in depicting issues of child labour in communities enhances message impact among parents and other members of the community. The performers utilized traditional or historical messages, settings and contexts on issues of child labour. This was effectively used by the project through CCLCs and Schools to raise awareness in all the communities. In both structures (CCLCS and School) peer educators were used. Greater impact was realized and hence the project exceeded the projected numbers that were prevented, protected and withdrawn.
- administrative_issues:
- The positive lesson learnt stated above can be attributed to effective collaboration between school authorities and JTI/ILO project staff. However, to actualize the lesson stated above resources should be made available to the groups.
