Democratic, participatory, encouraging, supportive, inclusive, well-anchored in the community, open, and future-proof: Does this describe your school? Congratulations, then you are already among the schools that have firmly integrated children's rights into their practice. However, this is rarely or only partially the case, even though promoting the well-being of children should be a central goal of the school. Lothar Krappmann has reflected on a fundamental expansion of the perspective on children's rights and has documented this in the manifesto "Children's Rights, Democracy, and School." The manifesto, explained and endorsed by a group of experts from academia and practice, demonstrates that children's rights are a central orientation for the further development of schools.
