Hallo
I'm sending you the Press Release we've just sent as I think you will be interested too.
On 20th November it's the 20th Anniversary of the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted this seminal charter for all the world's children. Much has been done, much more has not.
We pledge we want to Build a World Fit for All Our Children to Play in. What will happen in the next 20 years? This is where we ask YOU to tell us what you would like to see happen.
Look at the release below, reply to the 5 questions using the above email - and please pass this onto friends, colleagues, neighbours, family.
Maybe we will produce an outcome that expresses the common view of most people as to what sort of world we want to see for all our children by 2029.
Many thanks
Jan Cosgrove
National Secretary

What's Best for Our Children? 20 Years Ahead
On 20th November this year, the seminal treaty on children, The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, reaches its Twentieth Annivesary, the date on which in 1989, the United Nations General Assembly agreed to adopt the Convention and to open it for ratification by Member States.
Fair Play for Children, founded in 1972 by leading rights campaigner, Archbishop Trevor Huddleston, is now founded on Article 31 of the Convention, the Right to Play, Rest and Recreation, and to share fully in Culture. This Right does not exist in isolation, of course - e.g. Right to Child Care, Right to Health, Rights to Non-discrimination, Non-exploitation, Freedom of Association, To be heard etc
Leading up to the Anniversary Date, Fair Play is issuing a Challenge:
For Readers to tell us 5 things they would like to see achieved in the next 20 years for all Children.
We ask that they contact us at: playaction (at) fairplayforchildren.net
and tell us:
one thing they would like their national Government to do for Children's Play
one thing they would like their national Government to do for Children's Rights
one thing they would like their local/municipal authority to do for Children's Play
one thing they would like their local/municipal authority to do for Children's Rights
one thing they would like to see all Governments do for All Children worldwide
over the next 20 years.
We'd ask they do this by 15th November so that Fair Play can email:
Governments
UK Local Councils
and others in time for 20th November 2009.
We also ask that people replying indicate their age and country. No names needed.
Our website is www.fairplayforchildren.org and a reply can be left there also.
END
30th October 2009
