What is bravery?
There are some situations or challenges we face that may be tricky. Learning how to manage risks can help us make choices and take action in response to these.
Race can mean your colour, nationality or your ethnic or national origins. The Huitoto are an indigenous group whose traditional land is around the Southern Colombian city of Leticia. We should never be treated unfairly because of our race.
Relating to the UN Rights of a Child, governments should let families and communities guide their children as they grow up. The Huitoto traditionally learn hunting, fishing and gathering from a young age.
How has travel changed our lives?
Having access to travel can help us learn more about people living in our world. Life is not the same for everyone and we should respect that.
Where and how people choose to live may affect the modes of transport they use. We should never be treated unfairly because of how we choose to live.
Relating to the UN Rights of a Child, if a child lives in a different country than their parents, governments must let the child and parents travel so that they can stay in contact and be together.
What is the best way to show your support?
We all have the right and freedom to raise awareness of the things that are important to us. We should consider how we choose to do this and the impact it may have on others. We can all make a positive difference!
Max was 10 years old when he took on his challenge. We can all set ourselves goals and challenges and achieve amazing things. Nobody should judge, underestimate or treat anyone unfairly because of their age.
And remember, as part of the UN Rights of a Child, we have the right to share freely with others what we learn, think or feel unless it harms other people.
