Busan City and UNICEF Hold the '20th Korea Children's Assembly Busan Regional Conference'

On the 9th at 10 AM, Busan City and UNICEF Korea Committee Co-host

Over 90 Children Participate in 'Child Development Rights'... Policy Discussions from Children's Perspectives

On the 9th at 10 a.m., Busan City will hold the '20th Korea Children's Assembly Busan Regional Conference' at the Arpina Hotel Grand Ballroom in collaboration with the UNICEF Korea Committee Busan Office (Director Shin Daegyeom).

The 'Korea Children's Assembly' is a meaningful event where children cultivate a sense of active participation and directly engage in related policy decisions. The Busan regional conference has been held annually since 2014.

Last year, the Korea Children's Assembly Busan Regional Conference.

The event will proceed in the following order: ▲ Survey on awareness of children's rights and children's rights education ▲ Group topic discussions ▲ Drafting and adoption of a resolution ▲ Selection of five child representatives for the Busan regional conference.

On the day of the event, about 90 children aged 10 to 15 and about 30 leaders, totaling approximately 130 participants, will gather to discuss social issues related to children and draft and adopt policy proposals (resolutions) as the stakeholders themselves. The adopted policy resolutions will be delivered to Busan City.

In particular, this year, the topic of discussion will be the 'Right to Development' under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, allowing children to reflect on and share their opinions about whether the world is a good place for children to grow up.

The five children selected as representatives of the Busan regional conference will participate as delegates in the '20th Korea Children's Assembly National Conference' scheduled to be held in Seoul this August.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun stated, "Children must be happy for parents to be happy and for Busan as a whole to be happy," adding, "We will always listen carefully to the voices of children and continue to do our best to make Busan a good place for children to live."
