CHILDREN PARLIAMENT

Vision

A world where every child’s voice is heard and respected, and their ideas and concerns shape a brighter future for all

Mission

Empower children to actively participate in decision-making processes, advocate for their rights, duties, and collaborate with people to create inclusive and sustainable solutions for a better society.

The key features include

Neighborhood Units

Children are organized into smaller groups within their neighborhoods, typically consisting of around 30 members.
These smaller units serve as the foundation for the overall structure, allowing for more localized representation and engagement.

Federation as Sociocratic Units

The neighborhood units come together to form a federation, creating a sociocratic system where decisions are made collectively with an emphasis on equal participation.
The federated structure allows for coordination and collaboration between different neighborhood units.

Advocating for Rights, Values, and Duties

The primary purpose of the children’s parliament is to empower young individuals to advocate for their rights, express their values, and understand their duties as active members of society.
Discussions within the parliament may revolve around issues affecting children, such as education, safety, health, and overall well-being.

Participatory Decision-Making

The parliamentary system encourages participatory decision-making, where children have the opportunity to voice their opinions, propose ideas, and contribute to the decision-making process.
This fosters a sense of responsibility and ownership among the children regarding the issues that directly impact their lives.

Educational and Developmental Focus

The children’s parliament serves as an educational platform, helping participants develop essential skills such as communication, critical thinking, and leadership.
It also provides a space for children to learn about civic responsibilities, democratic principles, and the importance of community engagement.

Implementation of Sociocratic Principles

Sociocratic principles, emphasizing consent-based decision-making and equitable distribution of power, are integrated into the functioning of the children’s parliament.
This ensures that each child’s voice is valued, and decisions are made through a collaborative and inclusive process.
