The Oslo Challenge of November 1999 saw children, young people, media professionals and child rights experts come together - at a meeting organized by UNICEF and the Norwegian Government - to discuss the development of children's rights and their relation to the media throughout the world.

The Challenge they issued at that meeting - and the MAGIC project which followed it - illustrated the importance of partnerships in developing a truly participative, child-friendly media.

This project is a Norwegian Government-funded UNICEF project, in conjunction with partners including the following:
