How was the teaching guide developed? This teaching guide was published by the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI), an independent non-profit organisation committed to realising the right to nationality for all. One of our main focuses has been the issue of childhood statelessness, which impacts millions of children around the world. This teaching guide, along with Neha’s book “The Girl Who Lost her Country” and its website (http://kids.worldsstateless.org/), aim to contribute to raising awareness on this phenomenon that places so much unnecessary strain on so many young shoulders. What can be found in the teaching guide? This teaching guide is divided into two themes: Theme 1: Borders & Belonging and Theme 2: Citizenship & Rights. Each theme contains three learning units: 1) Unit 1: The world and our place in it. This unit allows learners to reflect on their position in the world and the different factors that shape their identity. 2) Unit 2: Creativity and critical thinking. This unit urges learners to express their creativity and critically reflect on issues of borders, belonging, nationality and statelessness. 3) Unit 3: Rights and activism. This unit engages learners with different kinds of social activism and encourages them to take action to stand up against injustices. Under each learning unit you can find two carefully developed activities that reflect the objectives of the unit and theme that they fall under. The sequence of activities allows the learner to build up their knowledge, skills and values connected to the issue of statelessness. For learners to get a full grasp of the issue we would suggest, if time allows, to explore the full range of activities in the suggested sequence. However, if time is limited or other restrictions exist, you are welcome to pick and choose, trying out a single theme, learning unit or even activity according to the available time, materials and the needs of your group. Below is an overview of the content and structure of the two themes: 5
