DEVELOPMENT TREE• The Italian Committee for UNICEF
organized a workshop at Rome in the year 1990 for promoting the movement of child growth and development.
• It prepared the Development Tree that represents the rights of children that should be taken into account for their growth and development.
• The idea of the Development Tree is that the respect of all rights is necessary to assure the harmonious growth of the child.

REPRESENTATION BY DEV. TREE• The roots of the tree represent the basic needs of the
children like food, health, love, nutrition, shelter, protection etc.
• The trunk represents the right to social and economic development like right to proper childhood, balanced growth and legal protection.
• The branches represent the complementary rights like right to education, equality, play, information, cultural identity, freedom of expression to live in peace etc.
