Children’s Day

On Monday 20th Novemeber 2017 we marked Children's Day in our headquarters with a children’s celebration which was a big success. Children, young people and staff came together to celebrate childhood and to mark Universal Children’s Day. Young people spoke on ‘What it is like to be a child in Ireland today’ and there were performances from young person music and dance groups. A lot of fun was had, a lot of pizza eaten and the shared experience reminded us all of what can be gained when we listen to children’s voices – a key message for Universal Children’s Day. The event was organised by the Participation Workstream of the PPFS Programme. To read the speech delivered by our young spokesman Eric O’Connor, click here.

Numerous events were organised in the lead up to and on the Universal Children’s Day itself, full list here.
