Danish site empowers children and young people

The Danish online house for children, Cyberhus.dk, is created for and by children and young people. The principal idea behind the project is the young users' sense of ownership and active involvement.
Cyberhus.dk is developed in close cooperation with children, who decide text, images, graphics, navigation and the range of activities conducted. Here, users can walk through different rooms in the 'cyber house' and act as book critics, writers, rappers or IT- consultants and at the same time seek advice.

Terrorism: Leeds council sets up media schemes
Leeds City Council aims to combat fundamentalism in its community by launching youth video and magazine projects this week.
The council is diverting £80,000 into a youth-led community magazine and a video "diary room" project, Talking Heads, which will help young people share their feelings about the causes of fundamentalism.
The plans, which were decided on last week in reaction to the London suicide bombings, were drawn up by The Project, the Leeds division of the West Yorkshire Youth Association, which will be delivering the work over the summer in partnership with council youth workers.
Senior youth officer Maz Asghar said he had known the suspected ringleader of the London suicide bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan, as a "rational" crime-diversion youth worker.

ABU children's TV programme item-exchange moves from strength to strength catalyzed by UNESCO and IPDC
20-07-2005 (UNESCO New Delhi) - Producers at the ABU-UNESCO Children's TV Programme Item-Exchange Meeting and Workshop held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 4-9 July last, were highly commended for the quality of their work and encouraged to continue contributing to the cause for more and more local content television material for children.
Those from less developed countries in the region, were especially singled out in light of often insufficient human and technical support and extremely limited resources available to them for this purpose. A marked improvement on the overall quality was evident since the 12th meeting and workshop held in 2004, which was attributable not only to more hands-on training and coordination, but to the "creativity and determination of the producers themselves".

Inaccurate news article 'intruded into 14-year-old's private life'
A weekly newspaper has been criticised by the Press Complaints Commission for intruding into the private life of a 14-year-old girl and running an inaccurate story about her health.
The Medway Kent Messenger reported on an event that was being organised to raise money for a 16-year-old boy and his 14-year-old cousin to go to Florida.
The article told how both teenagers were 'seriously ill', had spent their lives 'in and out of hospital', and that the girl suffered from a muscle-wasting disease - when the girl actually suffered from a far less serious condition and had never spent a night in hospital.

Children never run out of questions

UNICEF Regional Director Maria Calivis discusses violence issues with youth participants in Ljubljana - Chris Schuepp, UNICEF CEE/CIS - 2005
The regional consultation for the UN Study on Violence Against Children in Europe & Central Asia again proved this fact. After two days of preparation and another two day at the main conference in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, 24 children and young people today had a chance to meet with UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Rima Salah, UNICEF Regional Director for the CEE/CIS and Baltics, Maria Calivis, and the independent expert leading the study, Prof. Paulo Sergio Pinheiro.
Pinheiro, who had already met with the children once two days ago, opened the round of questions, asking them how they will try to make a difference when they return to their countries. Gleb (14) from Belarus said: "I will share the experience with my friends at home. And I will try to get an interview with radio and TV stations in Belarus, because I think it's very important to reach a big number of people with this important message." Milos (16), from Serbia-Montenegro, added that "it was great to finally be recognized and heard at such a high level. It was very informative as well and I will spread all the new info with my peers at home".
Rima Salah, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, reassured the young people that their participation in the UN study was of vital importance: "You gave this whole conference a human face", said Salah. "You are the best people to tell us what is really happening and we want you to help us stop violence against children."

Independent expert Professor Pinheiro meets with young experts in Slovenia - By Chris Schuepp, UNICEF CEE/CIS

Professor Paulo Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro has covered thousands of flight miles since he was appointed to head the UN Study on Violence Against Children. But wherever he goes to participate in the regional consultations, the face-to-face meetings with the young people are among the highlights of his trips.
On this rainy Tuesday morning in the Slovenian capital Ljubljana, 24 young people from Europe & Central Asia are waiting for “the expert” to arrive. They have come from all over the region – from Lithuania in the North, Italy in the South, from Northern Ireland in the West and Tajikistan in the East. For two days they have prepared their participation in the regional consultation meeting that will be opened later in the day – but before that, they have a chance to talk to the man who has the global mandate to collect information on violence against children. And collecting information today first of all means to listen to the children.
“I am very happy to be here and meet all of you today. I will introduce myself briefly, but I really want to listen more than I want to talk,"Prof. Pinheiro makes clear from the very beginning. Holding a print-out of the children’s recommendations from the day before in his hands, he asks them to come forward with concrete experiences or suggestions. After a somwhat shy start, the questions come rolling in. Katarina from Slovenia is concerned about parents beating their children, Max from Romania shares similar worries, especially when talking about the rural population and traditions in his homecountry. The teenagers from the United Kingdom bring their fears about alcohol abuse forward and Zarina from Tajikistan demands more hotlines for children who have been victims of domestic violence.
Prof. Pinheiro does what he promised to do. He listens and takes notes. He also gives answers wherever possible and shares his experiences from the other regional consultations. From Mali where he visited children from single mothers who were left alone in a crib, from China where “many parents seem to think that beating their children is part of their rights as parents” and from Thailand where youth participation has improved significantly over the last decade, just like in Europe & Central Asia.
"However", Pinheiro adds passionately, “we cannot expect children to completely stand up for themselves. The states, the governments, should promote your participation. We have to do more!”In the discussion with the young people, the idea of a “school for parents” comes up. Pinheiro sees a huge potential in this, saying that “a lot of parents have not the slightest idea about children’s rights. We cannot put all the responsibility on the children’s shoulders. The parents have to help, but many of them need help themselves in the education of their sons and daughters.”
After more than an hour with his young interviewers, Prof. Pinheiro has to leave to prepare for the opening of the regional consultation meeting. A picture with Tatiana from Moldova, a present from Milos from Serbia-Montenegro, some hand-shakes with the children and then he leaves the Youth Hostel where the meeting took place. But he will soon see the young people again, at the conference later in the day. And nobody has the slightest doubt that he will again listen to them carefully and takes their suggestions and concerns into account.

UNICEF Trains Myanmar Journalists on Child Rights, Reporting Group Drafts Ethics Code with Guidelines for Reporting on Children

Young journalist Ma Khin Nwe Win participating in the journalists training - Myo Thame, 2005
Yangon, 01 July 2005 – Today UNICEF concluded a two-week training course for 24 Myanmar journalists on international-standard reporting skills, child-focused reporting and media ethics.
Participating journalists learned about the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as pressing issues such as HIV/AIDS – areas where reporters working inside of Myanmar can still make a difference in the lives of the country’s children and their families. The group of reporters concluded the training by drafting a comprehensive code of journalists’ ethics, which includes a series of guidelines for reporting on children – a first for Myanmar. Most of the journalists are in their teens or early twenties.
“This training is important because it gives young reporters in Myanmar an opportunity to learn more about children’s rights, ethics, and how they can give a greater voice to children and young people in their country,” said UNICEF Representative in Myanmar Carroll Long.
Since many journalists in Myanmar only have limited opportunities to receive international-standard instruction, UNICEF began providing training opportunities for reporters in 2004.
Thanks to financial support from the Swedish National Committee for UNICEF, UNICEF is sponsoring a series of trainings for Myanmar journalists this year.
“Training is particularly important for young journalists in Myanmar because it can increase their ability to help the country’s families learn about measures that they themselves can take to enhance their children’s health and wellbeing,” said Ms. Long.
In addition to training professional journalists, UNICEF will train a team of teenage ‘youth journalists’ this year, and sponsor their placement with select private publications to give children and young people a greater voice in Myanmar language media.

Regional workshop for children's media initiatives to further child rights in South & Central Asia - 17th - 21st July 2005 in Kathmandu, Nepal
Save the Children members with their partners, as well as other agencies in South & Central Asia have involved themselves in a number of media related activities, which have been led by children. While some children’s media initiatives revolve around traditional media like theatre and puppetry, others have encouraged children to use contemporary media like newspapers, TV and radio.
However, most of these innovative initiatives exist in isolation and/or face challenges in sustainability, as there is not enough space or support to ensure that these efforts are maintained over time. There is a need to recognise, acknowledge and encourage children’s media initiatives and support them to become stronger and sustainable. Child journalists have identified the need for additional capacity building in advocacy, media literacy and increased support to build partnerships between the media/policy makers/civil society and children’s own media initiatives.
Moreover, amongst children and development workers there is great interest in learning from existing experiences, developing networks amongst children’s media groups and enhancing partnerships with children’s organisations and the media at different levels nationally and regionally.
In this connection, Save the Children Sweden, Regional Programme for South and Central Asia is organising a children and media workshop which aims to promote children’s effective and sustained participation in the media and build linkages amongst initiatives.

Young people and cyber-hate in Belgium
The Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism (CEOOR) acts against the small minority of Internet users who promote hate and discrimination. It only resorts to legal action in the most extreme cases.
For young people, the Internet reflects the real world. It is a place to meet and interact, and hateful or provocative material is rare. As in the real world, a small minority of websites do promote hate, for example against Africans, Muslims and homosexuals. The mass distribution of hate mails blaming immigrants for violent attacks is also an alarming phenomenon.
The Centre reacts to this kind of content even if it is often intended as a joke. The danger is that society might become more accepting of racism if everyone distributes messages of this kind.
