We want this year’s World Children’s Day to be for children, by children. And we want you to help us make it happen. Children have a right to be heard. How different would our world be if we truly listened to them? This World Children’s Day, we will get a glimpse at what would happen.

On 20 November, celebrate the value that young people can offer by encouraging the children in your life to take over for the day. Children can takeover however you want, or better still, how they want! For inspiration, we’ve pulled together a few starter ideas below.

You can share your experiences with #childrentakeover
