Celebrate with us World Children’s Day – 20 November

A day to reimagine a better future for every child.

Children playing

World Children’s Day is UNICEF’s annual day of action for children, by children. 

From climate change, education and mental health, to ending racism and discrimination, children and young people are raising their voices on the issues that matter to their generation and calling for adults to create a better future.

On World Children's Day, we must work together to support every child's right to #inclusion and to protect every child from all forms of discrimination.

It’s time for generations to come together to reimagine the type of world we want to create. 

On 20 November, kids will reimagine a better world. What will you do?

Landmark buildings around the world will light up blue on the day to show support for child rights. Wear something blue, change your profile picture online and help raise awareness.

In the past years, UNICEF in Romania celebrated the World Children's Day, coloring in blue symbolic buildings and monuments such as the Bran Castle, the Column of Infinity, the Cotroceni Palace, the Arc de Triomphe and the Victoria Palace.

Kids take over

Children will ‘take over’ high-visibility roles in media, politics, business, sport and entertainment normally held by adults to shine a spotlight on issues that matter to them.

A week ahead of World Children’s Day celebrated every year on 20 November, CJI and UNICEF invite all teachers to take part in "Romania's largest media literacy lesson". During the activity, which will take place from 14 to 27 November, students will be able to learn in class how to verify information using data and statistics to differentiate facts from opinions, creating a safer and more inclusive world. Teachers can download a range of resources tailored to their classroom needs, including a lesson script and a short video.
