World Children’s Day is a day to celebrate the power of children to change the world.
On the 20th November we celebrate World Children’s Day, the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is a global day of action for children by children.
An integral part of World Children’s Day is children learning about their rights and raising their voices on issues that affect them.
We will be taking part in activities and watching the new ‘ We all have rights’ video which has been launched by UNICEF to help children understand their rights.
