Children’s Rights

The Global Campus of Human Rights has released a new publication highlighting how children and young people across multiple regions are shaping human rights work through the Global Campus Child Leadership Team (CLT) and Youth Advisory Group (YAG).

What can meaningful child and youth participation look like in practice? From 30 March to 3 April, the Global Campus International Children’s Rights Workshop in Sarajevo explored a range of approaches shaped by different regional experiences.

How can research involving children move beyond procedural safeguards toward genuine, meaningful participation? On 22–23 January 2026, the Institute of Human Rights and Peace Studies (IHRP) at Mahidol University convened a regional workshop bringing together child rights practitioners from across South and Southeast Asia to reflect on ethical, inclusive, and rights-based approaches to engaging children in research, consultation and policy processes.

The 15th edition of the recent EMA Human Rights Film Festival turned the Global Campus headquarters in Venice into a lively space dedicated to the right to play. Organised by GC Europe students, the festival—titled Un, Due, Tre… Stella!—placed children’s perspectives at the centre, combining films, performances, and intergenerational dialogue to explore play as a fundamental human right and a source of creativity and resilience.
