[UN Observance] World Children’s Day 2020: A Day to Reimagine the Future
20 November 2020
Free
World Children’s Day was first established in 1954 as Universal Children’s Day and is celebrated on 20 November each year to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children’s welfare.
World Children’s Day offers each of us an inspirational entry-point to advocate, promote and celebrate children’s rights, translating into dialogues and actions that will build a better world for children. This year is extra special. It’s the 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, time to celebrate and a time to demand action for child rights.
Explore UNICEF’s 2020 World Children’s Day Toolkit here to learn more and get involved.
