Traditional balloon start in Engerwitzdorf: focus on children's rights

In Mittertreffling, a very special event took place on November 20: the traditional balloon start of children's friends Engerwitzdorf on the occasion of the international day of children's rights. Numerous parents, grandparents and their children gathered at the new parent-child center on the town square to take part in this symbolic action. This year the environmental idea was particularly important, which is why only a few balloons were actually released into heaven. The event is used to draw attention to the rights of children, which protect the interests and the well -being of all children worldwide.

Andrea Seyer-Neulinger, the chair of children's friends Engerwitzdorf, underlined the importance of child rights in their speech and demanded that they are also more observed in local politics. She emphasized that when planning public spaces, the needs of children and families must be in the foreground. The children's friends have worked intensively for the purchase of the premises of the parent-child center to create a protected space for playing and developing the children.

children's rights in focus

The children's friends want to put the basic rights of children in the foreground on this special day and raise awareness in the community. This not only refers to the 35th birthday of the UN Convention on the Rights of Children, but also to actively shape the discussions about children's rights in politics and planning leisure activities. "It is important that our children grow up in a safe and child-friendly environment," said Seyer-Neulinger.

The International Day of Children's Rights, which is celebrated every year on November 20, has its origin in the adoption of the UN Convention on the rights of the child in 1989. This convention is an important document that aims to protect and promote children at global level. The Kinderfreunde Engerwitzdorf use this day to raise awareness of the diverse topics related to children's rights and to stimulate the community for active participation.

This day and the associated action are not only an opportunity to have fun and celebrate together, but also an important sign of how crucial it is to hear the voices of the children and take their needs seriously.
