In the webinar, NAPCAN showcased three projects that are elevating the voices of children and young people in meaningful ways in Australia:

This webinar has been organised in support of Children’s Week 2021 (but will be held during the following week). This year’s theme is based on Article 15 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: Children have the right to meet together and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights.
