Scotland's Assembly - International Day of Play with CYPC

Play your part for rights! Join Nicola Killean, the Children and Young People’s Commissioner, and children across Scotland to celebrate children’s human rights on UN International Day of Play on Wednesday, June 11.

This assembly – with BSL interpretation – will be hosted by the Commissioner and a young person. At this fun and interactive session, children will: 

• Focus on the right to play and why it’s so important  
• Share views on play that will inform our international work on rights to physical health 
• Enjoy a draw-along session with a talented illustrator to create their own Rights Rabbit 

The Children and Young People’s Commissioner promotes and protects children’s rights in Scotland. This assembly is the third in a series with Nicola during this school year and follows one on World Children’s Day on 20 November, and another on International Day of Happiness on 20 March.

Last summer, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child became part of our law in Scotland. This assembly will help children understand more about their rights in an accessible and age-appropriate way. This is important as knowing their rights helps children claim them.

So please join us live for a 30-minute assembly at 9.30am on Wednesday, 11 June, to celebrate children’s right to play, rest and leisure.
