Project:
Kinder Onderzoek Groep 1
In dit project leert een groep kinderen uit groep 8 van basisscholen in Leiden onderzoekersvaardigheden en ze voeren ook zelf een onderzoek uit over een onderwerp dat zij zelf belangrijk vinden in hun leven. Deze cursus wordt gegeven op de woensdgamiddagen in het Kinderrechtenhuis. Na afloop presenteren de kinderen de resultaten van het onderzoek aan volwassenen (ouders, leerkrachten, beleidsmakers) en tijdens de opening van het Kinderrechtenhuis op 28 mei 2010.

Project:
Recreation activities as a source of resilience for children
ICDI will implement a research project on ‘positive deviance’ in the Netherlands. Based on the concept of resilience, positive deviance looks at the reasons why so many children growing up in difficult circumstances do so well (what makes them so strong?). Our specific focus will be on children from ethnic minorities in the Netherlands and the role participation in recreational clubs and activities might be seen to play in terms of promoting well-being and supporting the integration of young immigrants into mainstream society. We will organize focus group discussions with children and their caregivers. We will also organize a seminar on the findings of our research for policy makers and other stakeholders. This project will last one year and is funded by the EU in the framework of their ‘2010 year of poverty reduction and social exclusion’.

Project:
Young Child Rights Advocates
In the Young Child Rights Advocates project, organized bij ICDI and IREWOC, seven young child rights advocates living in economically, politically and socially deprived environments, are selected and invited for a week’s visit to the Netherlands from 23 - 27 May 2011. All candidates have a clear history of defending the rights of children in their neighbourhoods or countries. During the visit they will attend a 2-day seminar in project management and child rights, develop a solid project proposal, generate media attention for the issues they are fighting for and meet other youngsters, policy makers and experts in the field of child rights. After returning home, funds will be made available to the young advocates to implement and manage their projects and with this improve the child rights of children around them. The aim of this project is to unite young heroes and to give them the chance to extend their networks, learn from each other and experts, validate their work and efforts, cross borders and overcome barriers. This way, children from economically, politically or socially deprived areas of the world will be given the possibility to voice their problems and a platform to promote their ideals.
