SUMMARY:Exhibition: When children defend their rights
DESCRIPTION:EN / FR \nWhen children defend their rights \nExhibition “Children reporters. 1\, 2\, 3 … let’s talk about our rights! ”  \nOn November 20\, 1989\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Thirty years later\, the Republic and Canton of Geneva has updated its policy for children and youth with a new law recognizing the child “not only as a subject with rights\, first of all to be protected\, but also as an actor participating in society and who has the right to express himself on issues concerning him “. \nTo commemorate this anniversary and to give the children a voice on the rights that concern them\, the UNIGE Showroom (SEU) hosts an exhibition entitled “Children reporters. 1\, 2\, 3 … let’s talk about our rights! ” Through video\, photo\, radio and written reports\, the SEU will show the works of children from Geneva and elsewhere who wish to share with the public their vision of the rights of the child today: what seems important\, which is a problem for them\, which they would like to change. During the night of Saturday\, September 28\, proposed in the framework of NO’PHOTO 2019\, biennial of photography in Geneva\, visitors will also be able to attend a projection of the Musée de l’Élysée with the theme “childhood dream”.

Trente ans plus tard\, la République et canton de Genève a actualisé sa politique pour l’enfance et la jeunesse avec une nouvelle loi reconnaissant l’enfant «non seulement comme un sujet doté de droits\, dont en premier lieu celui d’être protégé\, mais également comme un acteur participant à la société et qui a le droit de s’exprimer sur les questions le concernant». \nPour commémorer cet anniversaire et donner la parole aux enfants sur les droits qui les concernent\, la Salle d’exposition de l’UNIGE (SEU) accueille une exposition intitulée «Enfants reporters. 1\, 2\, 3… parlons de nos droits!». À travers des reportages vidéos\, photos\, radios ou encore écrits\, la SEU exposera les œuvres d’enfants venus de Genève et d’ailleurs\, qui souhaitent partager avec le public leur vision des droits de l’enfant aujourd’hui: ce qui leur paraît important\, ce qui leur pose problème\, ce qu’ils voudraient changer. Durant la nocturne du samedi 28 septembre\, proposée dans le cadre de NO’PHOTO 2019\, biennale de la photographie à Genève\, les visiteurs pourront également assister à une projection du Musée de l’Élysée ayant pour thème «L’enfance rêvée». Retrouvez plus d’informations ici. \nLe projet «Enfants reporters» s’accompagne d’une conférence de trois jours autour du 30ème anniversaire de la Convention des Nations Unies. Professionnels\, institutionnels et acteurs des droits de l’enfant\, adultes et enfants\, de la Cité de Genève comme de la Genève internationale\, de la Confédération helvétique et du secteur académique\, seront invités pour débattre et échanger sur les actions réalisées à Genève en faveur des droits de l’enfant. Une exposition photographique sera également installée sur le Quai Wilson tout le mois d’octobre 2019. Une journée d’animations autour des droits de l’enfant\, avec un gâteau d’anniversaire géant\, sera par ailleurs organisée pour fêter la journée d’anniversaire de la Convention\, le 20 novembre 2019 sur la place des Nations. \nRetrouvez plus d’informations ici. \nINFOS PRATIQUES \nVernissage le mardi 24 septembre à 18h30 \nNocturne le samedi 28 septembre\, de 14h à 1h\, avec une projection du Musée de l’Élysée (Suzi Pilet\, «L’enfance rêvée») \nDes visites guidées pour le public seront organisées le jeudi 26 septembre à 18h et le mardi 1er octobre à 12h30. \n\nCONTACTS \nAnita Goh\, Commissaire de l’exposition et chef de projet de l’Association 30 Ans de Droits de l’Enfant\nAnita.Goh@30ansde.org\n+41 76 358 12 22 \nPhilip D.

SUMMARY:30 years after the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: achievements\, challenges and opportunities\, with a key focus on access to information\, digital skills and online safety for children
DESCRIPTION:Background and objectives\n\nThe Permanent Mission of Romania and the Permanent Mission of Austria are organizing an event in the margins of the 81st session of the CRC entitled “30 years after the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child: achievements\, challenges and opportunities\, with a key focus on access to information\, digital skills and online safety for children”.  \nThe year 2019 provides the opportunity to take stock of the achievements 30 years after the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child\, to identify challenges in the implementation of the rights of the child and to discuss the way ahead. This event aims to contribute to these discussions. Particularly\, it will be an opportunity to take stock of 30 years since the adoption of the CRC from the perspective of the Committee on the Rights of the Child\, to identify the existing gaps and challenges for the implementation and to discuss emerging issues in the area of children’s rights. Among current challenges and opportunities\, the event will focus on the interlinkages between access to information\, digital skills and online safety for children\, also with a view to the ongoing work of the Committee on a General Comment on children’s rights in the digital environment. While access to information contributes to the promotion of children’s social\, spiritual and moral well-being\, as well as to their physical and mental health\, and digital skills become indispensable in the process of education\, online safety must be a priority for these essential objectives to be met.  \nRomania\, the holder of the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union\, and Austria\, the previous EU Council presidency\, are committed to promoting children’s rights. The 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is an opportunity to reaffirm this commitment and to galvanize reflection on achievements\, challenges and opportunities in the area of children’s rights.   \n\n Format of the event\n\nThe theme will be addressed by a panel consisting of members of the Committee on the Rights of the Child\, human rights experts\, representatives of civil society and diplomats\, through short presentations. At the end of this part\, a questions-and-answers session will allow the participants to engage with panelists and broaden the reflection initiated by them.  \n\nProgramme and panelists\n\n13h00-13h20: Light lunch \n13h20-13h25: Opening Remarks  \nH.E.
