The Children's Board is a story about different talents, dedicated to a common mission, but also about the importance of uniqueness and diversity of values and human traits in the success of a team.
How it all started
Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child sets out children’s right to be heard and have their views taken into account, thus contributing to better communities.
In January 2019, when the Ministry of Labour and Social Justice represented by the National Authority for the Protection of Children’s Rights and Adoption, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs represented by the Minister for European Affairs, and UNICEF Romania decided to work together during the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union in order to promote children’s participation rights as EU-wide priorities, Romania appointed four Junior Ambassadors to the EU and the Children’s Board was established.
Our mission and objectives
Children are indeed the future, but they are also part of the present. They are the innovation, inspiration and change that the present so desperately needs. We, the Children's Board, promote children's participation in decision-making, amplify the voice of the vulnerable ones and foster diversity.
Guided by the motto ‘Nothing for children without children’, we strive to put our right to be heard and taken seriously on political leaders’ agendas.
