Children’s Week 2022

Children’s Week 2022

Thousands of children across the country will applaud their right to childhood this year as part of Children’s Week, which will be celebrated between 22 October – 30 October 2022.

Children’s Week engages children and their families across Australia in activities, projects and events staged at numerous locations, including schools, childcare centres, parks, playgroups, libraries, and cultural and community groups.

Children’s Week is an annual event celebrated in Australia. A diverse range of events and activities are organised at national, state, and local levels to celebrate the rights of children to enjoy childhood and for the wider community to rejoice in their talents, skills, and abilities. In Queensland Children’s Week is convened by Children’s Rights Queensland.

“Children’s Week is an opportunity for children to celebrate their own achievements, display their talents, demonstrate their skills and have fun!” Dan Marais, President of Children’s Rights Queensland said.

“We are so pleased to have over 200 public and private events taking place across the state over the next week.

“Children’s Week is an excellent opportunity for educators, parents, carers, and communities to educate children about their rights. Children’s Rights Queensland has a suite of resources available on our website to support with this, including a children’s book, teaching guides, activity books and training modules.”

The Children’s Week National Theme for 2022 is based on UNCRC Article 27: All Children have the right to a standard of living that supports their well-being and healthy development.

Many groups and organisations will also be delivering projects that teach children about their rights, including PCYC which is running a poster competition at its services across Queensland.

Children’s Rights Queensland is proudly supported by the Queensland Family and Child Commission.
