For Children and Young People
We want to hear about an issue that matters to you!
You can submit this in any format you like. It could be a blog post, a drawing, a word cloud, or a mind map (to name a few examples).
We will pair your work with an expert in children’s rights. They will add a response to your work, covering the boring stuff. We want to hear about your opinions, experiences, and ideas for solutions!
We have a few rules before submitting:
- Your blog post must be no longer than 1000 words.
- You must submit your post in Word. You can send this to James Kane at j.kane@qub.ac.uk
- Any font is fine.

If you are responding to a child or young person:

If you are submitting stand-alone expert analysis:
