Digital Citizenship has never been in focus as much as it is in the present. With the pandemic, the number of Digital Citizens is growing day by day. Do you think that this would give rise to Digital Countries springing up everywhere?
Have you wondered what is Digital Citizenship?
Last week we had shared a very interesting activity on building a Digital Country and our ACTIZENs designed beautiful flags by putting in a lot of thought and formed Digital Countries with their friends.
This week, we encourage our ACTIZENs to take a step ahead in this direction and write a Constitution (Rule book/framework) and Preamble (Principles they believe in) for their Digital Country.
What is Constitution?
A constitution is primarily a set of rules and principles specifying how a country should be governed, how power is distributed and controlled, and what rights citizens possess. The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. The document lays down the framework demarcating fundamental political code, structure, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens. It is the longest written constitution of any country on earth.
What is Preamble?
The preamble to the Constitution is a brief introductory statement that sets out guidelines, which guide the people of the nation, and to present the principles of the Constitution.
Expected Outcomes
Students will be able to:
Develop skills like communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking
Learn to develop their own constitution and think about their Rights and Duties in their country.
Recognise the essentials and the guiding principles to build a good country
Steps for the activity
Discuss the activity with the fellow Digital Citizens (friends) of your Digital Country.
List down the basic fields you need to fill in in your Digital Country’s constitution and principles to be included in your Preamble
Discuss why or why not you would like to include the same in your Digital Country.
Once your draft is final, fill in the table below and share with us on – contributions@deshapnayen.org by 30th July 2020.
