UNICEF International Children's Day of Broadcasting Royal Children's Hospital Puppet Multicast

"Children's Day of Broadcasting is an opportunity for children around the world to participate in the huge and influential world of broadcasting. On this day, children actually help create and convey messages about their lives that are seen by millions of people around the globe," said William Hetzer, broadcasting chief at the United Nations Children's Fund. He added that the Convention on the Rights of the Child -- ratified by almost every country in the world -- is the force behind ICDB.

"The Convention on the Rights of the Child says the freedom to express opinions and participate in public discussion is a fundamental right of all children," Hetzer said. "On International Children's Day of Broadcasting that right becomes real."

A group of us wanted to make sure that the children in Melbourne had an opportunity to participate in this special day. So we helped them to create the following puppet plays:
