Our youth have spoken – and called for action!
More than 10,000 children and young people across the world have spoken!
They have told adults and decision-makers exactly why and how they need more space, time, and opportunities to play.
The UN has declared a new International Day of Play on 11 June each year. Crucial to that milestone was the work of the Child and Youth Advisory Group, a diverse team of young people from around the world who came together to champion an international campaign on play.
Supported by leading organisations committed to children’s wellbeing and rights, the group undertook a global consultation with children and young people via online surveys, playful workshops and focus group discussions.
The result is a fascinating report, The Power of Play: Children and Young People’s Call to Action. It analyses the findings and offers recommendations to adults and decision-makers.
