The Valuing Children Initiative offers specialised workshops on giving children a voice #
Underpinned by the National Principles on Child Safety and the United Nation Conventions on the Rights of the Child, we ask children their experiences about the world around them.
Your project can be around road safety, playground design, experiences in adult dominated spaces or social issues.

Children’s Workshop 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM:
