Children, Youth & Learning

Major observances focused on children’s rights, young people, education, literacy, teachers and protection from exploitative labour.

This collection connects child-rights, youth-participation and education observances without treating children or young people as one uniform group.

Safeguarding and meaningful participation remain important across every page in the collection.
