Documenting the Voices of Children

The "Voices of Children" project is an excellent example of the founding belief of the World Forum Foundation that when you bring creative and committed people from diverse communities together great things will happen. The project was conceived at the 2012 World Forum Working Group meeting in Norway, when a group of educators, social scientists, filmmakers, and advocates embarked on a journey to document children’s perspectives on their rights.

This project has become much more than the creation of a compelling documentary. As teams of global educators and videographers traveled (at their own expense and with local and international funding) to Asia, Africa, South America, and North America, working together and with local teachers, a profound understanding of how to listen to and honor children’s thoughts and ideas emerged. Schools that participated were changed. Educators who were part of the planning and logistics teams were changed. A powerful tool is being created that will effectively demonstrate children’s deep understanding of what connects us all as human beings.

To get a glimpse into the heart of this exciting project, please take a few minutes to view this introductory video.
