Children's Rights In The Constitution

"Children's rights should belong to the German Constitution - this would make it clear to everyone. Children and young people must be protected, supported and allowed to participate."

Lisa Paus, Federal Minister for Families, Senior Citizens, Women & Youth

Children have the Right to Rest, Play & Leisure

"Children at play (football or otherwise) often reflect the very cornerstones of the game of life. Recognising objects or situations, deciding on a certain course of action, letting others participate celebrating success, learning from defeats. Making fun and games accessible for children, giving them space to play and enabling them to enjoy diverse experiences are the key building blocks for a healthy development."

Lutz Munack, Managing Director of women's youth and amateur football at 1. FC Union Berlin

Wir Sind Kinder

This is the title of the song I released in 1982. Meaning "We Are Children", it was the first time I had made a song to promote the rights and needs of children. The meaning is every bit as relevant today as it was in 1982 and it's great to see children still singing it with gusto and a healthy dose of self-confidence. I was and remain a strong advocate for a child-centred society.

Music and text: Rolf Zuckowski

Alles Ist Drin!

"Join in, your vote counts too! You can help decide where the journey goes!"
This is a translated line from our song ALLES IST DRIN! ("Anything is possible")
We believe that children have a valuable opinion and this opinion should be heard more in politics. After all most of the decisions made by adults primarily affect the futures of our children.

ICH & HERR MEYER
 

Children & Their Rights

That children have rights is great.... and really important too. But too often, including here in Germany, they fall by the wayside. Therefore, I would like to see children's rights anchored in our constitution so that the rights of children and children themselves are better protected and can gain strength as they develop.

Julia Boehme, children's author
