The Universal Children’s Day
International days are occasions to educate the public on issues of concern, mobilize political will and resources to address global problems and celebrate and reinforce the achievements of humanity.
The Universal Children’s Day is celebrated annually on November 20th. Its goal is to improve child welfare worldwide, promote and celebrate children’s rights, and promote togetherness and awareness amongst all children. Unfortunately in too many places today, children’s rights are under attack.
Svitac (Firefly in Bosnia) celebrated World Children’s Day with an interactive creative workshop. The participants watched a video about children’s rights such as the right to education, family life, health, play, etc. In the creative part, the participants colored the working sheets with children’s figures. Svitac volunteers made a beautiful poster with Earth surrounded by children and wrote “Happy World Children’s Day”.
The workshop was held at the premises of the Youth center in Brčko District.
