Descripción:

Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) creates a specific right for all children to have rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to their age and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts. Inspired by that democratic programme, just like Imaginate in Scotland’s strategic plan 2018-2021, No Child 2020 in Ireland (a joint initiative by The Irish Times and the Children’s Rights Alliance), are calling for a universal investment in children’s participation in cultural activity. This ensures that the Ark, as well as other child-centred organisations such as Babaró and Branar in Galway and Kids’ Own in Sligo, can make exciting, contemporary work for children across Ireland. The Arts Council remit is clearly to invest directly in artists and arts infrastructure but indirectly, participation opportunities for children have increased too.
