The World’s Children’s Prize in United Kingdom

The World’s Children’s Prize is open to all schools, child groups and to all humanitarian organizations. It is free of charge to participate in the World’s Children’s Prize program for all who join us.

Over 100 countries
Until today schools and children’s organizations in over 100 countries have joined the World’s Children’s Prize (WCP). In some countries, the WCP is implemented by schools and engaged teacher’s, in other countries in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education and/or school boards. Some countries have a very large number of Global Friend-schools and groups, some have fewer. In United Kingdom schools with more than hundred thousand students have joined the World’s Children’s Prize. Lots of UK children have participated in the programme.

Join today!
Schools, children’s organizations and groups can register with the World’s Children’s Prize as Global Friends. Humanitarian organizations register as Adult Friend-organizations. This gives you the right to take part in the program and to work with the material, to participate in the Global Vote and to nominate new candidates for the prize. Register as Global Friend school or organization and as Adult Friend organization here, or by contacting us by e-mail at contact@worldschildrensprize.org.

Focal Points
In some countries, often those that have a very large number of participating schools, the World’s Children’s Prize is coordinated by Focal Points responsible for distribution of the material, information, training and reporting the voting results etcetera. Find a list of our current Focal Points here.

Among those who support and work with the programme in United Kingdom are: The Children’s Rights Director for England and Oasis School of Human Relations
