Once you have learned about your rights, you can contribute to change in many ways, together with friends and on your own. This can be everything from small, everyday actions to bringing ideas to local leaders, even to the government of your country! Here you can explore resources about how you can make a difference!
The WCP website. and the
Globe Magazine are filled with stories about children around the world setting out to make a change for children’s rights where they live, through their own Changemaker Mission. For example, learn about
Peace and Changemaker Generation Ambassadors making change where they live, and about
children fighting for equal rights for girls. And of course, meet
Child Rights Ambassadors from around the world.
Go to the
video page and scroll down to watch videos about children and Child Rights Ambassadors on a Changemaker Mission where they live. For example, watch Child Rights Ambassadors Kim and Hassan as they

Myanmar/Burma, Cameroun or
Mozambique!
