Global Children Forum
February 27|5PM
Children in the world are vulnerable to violence and this is the consequence of ideas and actions of the adult world. Here in the beautiful and ecologically minded Waitakere City, Mayor Bob Harvey has led campaigns against the continued violation of children and their resulting physical and mental abuse, hospitalisation and death. In this MAUForum project, the children, themselves the symbol of beauty and truth, are asked to imagine and propose the world they wish to live in.
In the MAUForum 2009, we will launch this yearlong Global Children Forum project, which is coordinated and led by the children. Through Internet access and in their local communities children from all over the world will meet to exchange their visions of beauty and truth. The children will share ideas and stories using art, poetry, videos, dance, and activities of importance to them in order to communicate and relate. These shared ideas will be projected in public spaces throughout the world.
