Rejuvenate's working paper propose a shift from UNCRC principles of ‘protection, provision, participation’ to ‘space, support, system change’. This shift could mobilise us to truly understand and support children’s agency, and move us away from adult-led, top-down agendas.
With that in mind, we hope our new animation can get people thinking, and talking about preconceived ideas about what children can and can’t do, when we offer space, support and system change.
Children must take part in climate and environmental decisions – they care, have rights and their ideas, passion and imaginations can inspire adults to urgently act to save our planet from irreversible destruction.
It’s impossible to deny that silence has many faces
