children's rights actively live

The children's rights award was launched in 2022 to appreciate activities for the participation of young people in municipalities and to hear them. The aim of the price is to promote the realization of children's rights in their immediate environment and to make examples of good practice visible. The decision about the award winners makes a children's jury that consists of up to four regional teams of young people between the ages of 8 and 12. This unique jury ensures that the voices of those for whom these projects are intended - because children and young people know best what they need and how their rights can be enforced, such as [children's rights.rlp.de] (https://kinderrecht.rlp.de/kinderrecht prize) emphasized.

Commitment to children's rights is not only very important in Rhineland-Palatinate, and young people are also committed to their concerns nationwide. An inspiring example of this is the 17-year-old Fabian Schön from Neuenhagen in Brandenburg. Due to his dissatisfaction with the food in the school canteen, which he often left to be desired, he was looking for a conversation with the school management and campaigned for a new caterer. As Secretary General of the Federal School Conference (BSK), he also works for important topics such as education policy, digitization and mental health at schools, reports Deutschland.de.

The award of the children's rights price shows how important it is to involve children and adolescents in the design of their environment. They are not only the future, but already active participants, whose commitment deserves recognition and benefits the community. In a country in which the votes of the younger generation are often ignored, such initiatives help to increase hearing and to strengthen the rights of children.
