children's rights in focus

In the same breath, World Children's Day is also used for creative actions that encourage children to deal with their rights. UNICEF, on the other hand, organizes activities in various cities in which children can express their wishes and concerns in the form of art projects. At a Berlin workshop, for example, elementary school students worked together on a children's rights puzzle that shows their thoughts on a better future. Unicef promotes such initiatives to encourage children, actively raise their voice and pass on their concerns.

Overall, World Children's Day offers an excellent opportunity to not only celebrate, but also to address serious topics related to children's rights. It is an invitation to everyone to create a child -friendly environment in which the voices of the youngest are heard. Take this opportunity and come to the Südstadtpark on September 20!
