The Ombudsman for Children’s Office is marking the 25th Anniversary of Ireland’s Ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) with a year-long programme of events and activities.
Running from September 2017-2018, the year aims to celebrate, raise awareness and understanding of children’s rights and encourage individual and collective renewal of the promise made 25 years ago to progress children’s rights in Ireland.
To celebrate the 25th Anniversary in a unique and innovative way, the OCO has teamed up with Ireland’s top animators to invite children and young people including those attending primary or secondary schools in the Republic of Ireland to create an image of the children’s right that means most to them.
Children and young people are at the heart of what the OCO do and this is an opportunity for their voices and views on their rights in reality to be highlighted and heard.
Five winning original artworks will be chosen by judges from Cartoon Saloon, Kavaleer Productions, Mooshku and PINK KONG! studios to be animated and shown on the OCO website.
