Article 15 Project website

February 4th, 2011

The Children’s Environments Research Group (CERG) has collaborated with World Vision International, Redd Barna (Save the Children Norway), and UNICEF to develop a website devoted to the Article 15 Project. Here’s their mission statement:

“Children have the right to meet together and join groups and organizastions as long as this does not prevent other people from enjoying their rights.”

–Article 15 of The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

The Article 15 Project was created to support “child managed” organizations and clubs around the world to fulfill their rights.

The mission of the project is to create modules of guidance for establishing and sustaining “child managed” organizations. These modules will be posted on this website so they are accessible to all.

Currently this website hosts the most recent literature on and tools for child-led groups and clubs. Check out our resource section.
