Services

Children's Council Training Programmes The Children's Council consists of 70 seats. Child Councilors are recruited annually through an open recruitment exercise. After initial screening and interview by the organizing agencies and Child Councilors of the previous years, 70 children aged 11-17 are selected to become that year's batch of Child Councilor.
The training programme was designed to help the Child Councilors to familiarize with the UNCRC and prepare themselves for the Children's Council. Training activities in the form of workshops and overnight camp are conducted to raise participants' understanding towards the UNCRC and children's rights, and the concept of participation, as well as team spirit building among them. Motion topics and work plans are also formulated during the training.
