Our Young Advisor Robert made history as 1 of 5 children globally adressing the UN in Geneva, the first time @UN_HRC involved children in treaty-drafting. Speaking on free education & educational barriers he said: “I wasn’t just there to tick a box.”. 👉

🇺🇳 And that’s a wrap! Young Advisor Robert participated in a UN discussion about the right to education. We are so proud of him, and proud that we have supported him to have his voice heard at the epicentre of human rights. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Read more :

What are the barriers to children receiving pre-school education? Robert tells the UN options don’t always work for families, settings might not be accessible for disabled children & transport might be an issue.

Young Advisor Robert told the UN about barriers some children face in accessing education. He talked about our report with Who Cares? Scotland, which highlighted difficulties care experienced children face. He said: “Some only receive 30 minutes of education a week.”.

“Education is not just reading, writing & maths but also learning about human rights, different cultures, and the natural environment.”.Children must be heard by decision-makers and Young Advisor Robert told the UN about the importance of free pre-primary & secondary education.

Here we go! After weeks of planning, Young Advisor Robert addresses the UN today. He is representing Western Europe & is one of five children speaking for their peers from all over the world. He’ll be talking about the right to education, updates to come. Good luck, Robert!

Opening the session at the UN, Ms Nada al-Nashif, Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, said to the 5 children: “Your participation is not symbolic but essential.”. We completely agree & are proud to support children to be heard in places of power.

Big week for our Young Advisor Robert! 🌍 He’s at the UN in Geneva representing Western Europe. Tomorrow he’ll speak on the right to education, sharing insights from two years of work with the Commissioner & children across Scotland.🇺🇳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
