Include Us! Children and Young People’s Standards for their Meaningful Participation in Global Events
Our standards are created by children and young people based on our direct experiences and insights to promote children’s participation rights. Our standards also build upon existing models and standards such as the Lundy Model (Space, Voice, Audience, Influence) and the nine basic requirements from the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. We call on organisations working with children and young people and people organising global events to apply these standards – before, during, and after the global event – to ensure children and young people are seriously listened to. You can use the standards as a guide to inclusively and meaningfully engage children to shape a better world. The standards provide concrete actions to involve children and young people in ways they feel comfortable and provide opportunities for them to share their views and ideas in global events.
