Discovering one’s rights by playing and creating

Being able to express oneself, play, learn or participate in decisions that affect us: children’s rights affect everyday life.

En Avant! proposes to approach them in a playful way. The participation of children and young people is part of the project: they are involved in a festival that concerns them directly.

The objective is to allow them to discover their rights, but also to experience them during the day.

Proposals for children and teenagers

The festival is aimed at 0–18 year olds, with activities to choose from according to age and desires. Families will be able to consult the programme to identify the areas for toddlers and the events offered to the older ones.

This year, the “Jeu t’aime” meetings are joining forces with En Avant! in Brussels. Board games, an early childhood area and a free cinema session are announced as part of this partnership. The schedules and conditions of participation will be checked in the programme.
