No mountain high enough, no valley low enough! Together with the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade , we’ve been training local educators and establishing community-based pre-schools and early learning centres in Papua New Guinea. We’ve also been providing locally sourced and culturally relevant resources, like the Billum Packs. These colourful bags contain low cost and sometimes home-made educational materials like sticks, stones and bottlecaps to make math fun at home and school. This supports parents with home-based child education and play-based learning. And the kids love them! ©UNICEF Papua New Guinea/ 2023/ Moran

We love hearing the ‘why’ from our donors! Ngā mihi Deena, we couldn't agree more that Paddington Postcards are an awesome way to help little ones learn about the world while helping little ones around the world. A great idea for any teachers, educators or organizations working with tamariki. Head to the link below for more info about our Paddington Postcards. https://lnkd.in/gjNpZ9YY © UNICEF Ukraine/ 2024/ Yevtushenko

The theme for this year’s World Children’s Day was ‘Listen to the Future’ and that’s exactly what happened at Parliament last week. Hosted by MPs Camilla Belich and Greg Fleming, the third gathering of our Forum for Children’s Rights opened the floor to rangatahi on World Children’s Day. A space for them to have their say on the issues facing young people in Aotearoa, and share solutions with decision-makers and other advocates. Head to the link below to read more. https://lnkd.in/gVVrC8M3 Thanks to Create Happy Media for capturing the images from the day.

Children have the right to be heard in decisions that affect them and they are speaking up! We tautoko the VOYCE Whakarongo Mai call for section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act embedding Te Tiriti o Waitangi to stay in the legislation: "without it we wouldn't be better off, but with it we should be." To read more on our position, and our statement, head to the link below. https://lnkd.in/girfXN5t
Dear Minister Karen Chhour your community is begging for you to listen 💜 📝 Repealing (getting rid of) 7aa of the OT Act (Law) would be a HUGE step backwards for tamariki in care. Next month this bill will be having its second reading in Parliament and we need you help to #save7aa 📱 To those who can, please call your local MP and ask them to help #save7aa

Ongoing and important discussions! Thank you for having us.
We were blown away by the energy and thought-provoking kōrero from the UNICEF Aotearoa Young Ambassadors, who visited our Wellington office last week. Our chair Dr Rod Carr and Commission staff sat down with the UNICEF team to discuss a range of topics relating to climate change in Aotearoa New Zealand. This hui was a great opportunity to not only answer questions from the Young Ambassadors, but for us as a Commission to hear more about what rangatahi think, value, and prioritise in #ClimateAction. One of the overarching themes of the hui was featuring the voices and needs of everyday people in our work. The YAs challenged us to continue engaging with rangatahi and taking on board not just scientific evidence, but lived experience from communities across the motu. Our work has long-term impacts for all of Aotearoa New Zealand, and lived experience is an important type of information that feeds into our work alongside peer-reviewed research, mātauranga Māori, and many other sources of information. This hui highlighted the complex understanding and deep care that young people have when it comes to big issues like climate change and how they truly want to make a difference, despite the many barriers they face. Thank you again to the Angus, Clare and the YAs at UNICEF for coming to see us.

For over 75 years, education has always been a core theme in our mahi around the world. A child’s right to learn is universal, no matter where they live or what their circumstances are. Whether it’s part of an emergency response or supporting governments with long term solutions, everything we do weaves in education. But traditional education is no longer going to cut it if we want to prepare kids for the next 20 years. It has to evolve. In this month’s Good News, we take a closer look at some long-term education initiatives that do just this. From an urban food garden initiative in Ethiopia to life skill training in Syria to vocational upskilling in Nigeria.
