Abstract
Children discussed the plan for a school respecting and implementing all of
their rights and their views are analyzed here. They added more resources to their
physical environment which were relevant to their right to play mainly and this
tendency was stronger in Greece as compared to Scotland. In terms of suggestions for a
school for young children, these were influenced by the provision of education children
received in their countries respectively. As for the social environment, children in both
countries showed an appreciation of article 12 and wanted to participate in decision-making, even though they did not know which decisions or how. This need raised the
importance of article 5 and the importance of adults helping children exercise their
rights
