Welcome to ECLT eLearning platform
Enabling people through education
While progress has been made around the world in the fight against child labour, there is still a long way to go. Child labour remains a worldwide phenomenon as over 160 children from all places continue to be exploited, prevented from going to school or pushed into hazardous work that directly endangers their health and development.
With more than 70 percent of child labourers, agriculture is one of the most dangerous sectors for children.
Alike all global challenges, child labour in agriculture is a complex issue and one actor alone cannot break the cycle. To be impactful and sustainable, efforts to eradicate child labour in agriculture require collaborative actions across borders and sectors, as well as a solid understanding of what the issue is.
To this end, for our first e-learning course, we have decided to tackle this challenge by starting at the very beginning: it’s definition.
Free of charge, 'An Introduction to Child Labour' is a short 20-minute course which aims to explore the definition of child labour, the underlying dynamics pushing children into work and the opportunities of action for different stakeholders.
