Om seminaret

Arts as a vehicle to enable young children to access their rights.

In the world of theatre for children we often talk about Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and children’s rights to arts and cultural experiences. Whilst this is fundamental, the arts also have a role to play in enabling children to access their rights more broadly. When increasingly the voices of children and young people are being sought to inform policy and decision making, how can the arts offer a way for our youngest children’s voices to be heard?
