Member of the academic and organisational team of the international participtory conference: Children as Human Rights Defenders. Child Rights Now, , Initiatives et Changement, August 2019, Normandy France. “The theme « children as human rights defenders » was chosen by the UN Committee of Children’s Rights and Child Rights Connect to mark the 30th anniversary of the UNCRC. It represents an important idea that children are concerned and are competent to propose and act on issues which affect not just the lives of children but humanity and planet in general. We wish to honour the fact that, in the words of Janusz Korczak: “children are not the people of tomorrow, but are people of today”.
