Did you know that every child has a right to play?

Under Article 31 of the UNCRC, every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.

Download the child-friendly UNCRC poster here:

The Right to Play - Play Scotland

All children have the Right to Play under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

How wonderful is this? 🌳 "..children partaking in the projects as local connoisseurs, with knowledge of their surroundings, formulating questions and enacting matters of concerns.." www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1... beautiful thinking from 🙋 Teresa Elkin Postila & Christine Eriksson in
