Article 15 is the article in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) that says, “children have the right to meet together and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights“. Don’t know what the CRC is or does? You can find out more information on the CRC page, or by clicking HERE.
We believe that ALL children have rights, specifically the right to participate in matters that affect their lives. We believe ALL children have valuable assets and can be involved in their own self-started groups, as well as have powerful voices to make a differences in organizations run by adults. This site will be a place to access the resources that currently exist, but also connect with others who do the same sorts of things you do. And, if you know of other helpful resources, please contact us and we’ll add them!
We also want to hear of the exciting work that is taking place around the world by children and young people. And, if you have used any of these tools and resources before, PLEASE comment and share your thoughts and experiences! They will be really valuable in helping others who have never used them before.
