THE VOICES OF FUTURE GENERATIONS CHILDREN'S BOOK SERIES

 

The VoFG book series is a new international series of children’s books that will be published from 2014 - 2022 to highlight and promote public awareness of the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development “The Future We Want” Declaration. The series is led by a consortium of educational charities, together with international leaders from the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, the United Nations Education, Science and Culture Organization (UNESCO) and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), among others.

 

THE VoFG STORY WRITING CONTEST

 

In order to publish books under the series, we are inviting children between the ages of 8 and 12 years - of Pacific Island and Latin American decent, living in these regions or in the diaspora, to join the contest. They are invited to write 5-paged stories about children’s human rights and environmental rights in Pacific Island and Latin American Countries. These stories should creatively and imaginatively talk about the human rights and environmental rights of children in the Pacific Islands. Importantly, the stories should be about the kind of future that the children would like to see. The deadline by which stories should reach us is 15 July 2015. All submitted stories will be judged by an International Commission. The best story will then be published as a short and professionally illustrated short children’s book.
