A Day for the Little Heroes
In the heart of Santa Eulària, something magical is about to unfold. On November 18, a special celebration awaits, embracing the spirit of childhood and the rights that every child deserves. As the world gears up to commemorate World Children’s Day on November 20, Santa Eulària sets the stage for an unforgettable tribute.
The Significance of World Children’s Day
The Birth of a Global Initiative
World Children’s Day holds a deep-rooted significance. It marks the anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a groundbreaking international treaty adopted in 1989. This treaty resonates with the collective commitment to safeguarding the human rights of children under the age of 18.
A Reminder of Vulnerability
Children, the most vulnerable members of society, often bear the brunt of global crises and challenges. World Children’s Day reminds us that they are our future and deserve a world free from harm and full of opportunities.
The Cuidinfants Celebration
A Festival of Rights and Inclusivity
The heartwarming Cuidinfants program is a testament to Santa Eulària’s dedication to its young residents. Taking place on Saturday, November 18, at the Solidarity promenade, this event promises a day of joy, inclusivity, and education. The program embraces ten fundamental rights of children, including equality, identity, health, participation, and protection against violence.
Activities for Every Child
Children of all ages can immerse themselves in a world of creativity and fun. From healthy snack workshops to creating their own planters and planting a campus, the activities aim to instill values of health, equality, and environmental stewardship.
Dance, Storytelling, and Theater
Zumba takes center stage with a ‘Zumba Kids’ masterclass, getting everyone moving to the rhythm. Meanwhile, storytelling and musical theater performances enchant young minds and transport them to far-off lands of imagination.
Embracing Diversity
Inclusion Beyond Limits
The Cuidinfants program is a celebration of diversity. Associations working with children with functional diversity join the event, promoting inclusion and understanding. Apfem, Amadiba, AIF, Actef, Ibiza IN, and Addif lead the way in fostering acceptance and unity.
Child and Youth Participation
Young advocates from the Council for Child and Youth Participation of Santa Eulària play a pivotal role. They unveil a mural of rights, a visual testament to their commitment to children’s well-being. Collaborating with illustrator Marta Ortega, these young artists create a powerful image that resonates with the event’s essence.
The Vibrant Program
A Day Full of Delights
The Cuidinfants program unfolds in two sessions, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. The day offers a rich tapestry of activities:
