Less talk about youth,
More talk with youth!
The Singapore Children's Forum is where children and young people share their ideas, experiences and solutions on issues that matter to them—from mental health and online safety to life at home, in school and in their communities. Adults listen, learn and work alongside them to turn those voices into action.
Whether you're a young person with something to say or an adult who wants to support, we'd love to have you involved! ദ്ദി(｡•̀ ,<)~✩‧₊

Youth Project
"The People We Become"
A Youth-Led Showcase
A group of youth in Singapore worked on a forum theatre showcase, where they discussed mental health, online safety and violence against children. The showcase is part of their alternative report submission to the United Nation Committee on the Rights of the Child.
Workshop
Rights Here, Right Now!
Workshop on the UNCRC
Singapore Children's Society's annual fundraiser, Walk for Our Children is back this year with a focus on children's rights and voices. We're running two workshops (separately for youths and adults) to help participants understand more about children's rights and child participation.
Youth voices!
Here are some youth reflections from our past engagements.
⊹₊˚‧︵‿₊⊱·✶·⊰₊‿︵‧˚₊⊹
I believe that every youth deserves to be heard, regardless of their age or background. The Regional Children's Meeting in 2024 showed me that change often begins when we listen to one another with empathy and respect. It reminded me that our voices may be small on their own, but together they can create a real impact."

Testimonials/Feedback
“The Singapore Children’s Society’s Rights Here Right Now workshop is a highly effective programme that both allowed our students to learn more about the UNCRC while enjoying themselves at the same time. The activities were very interactive, invited collaboration, and it was heartening to see our students engage so readily with current social issues that they hold close to their hearts. We had a range of participants from Secondary 1-4 who were all able to appreciate and engage with the programme. Overall, it was a memorable learning experience for the students that allowed them to grow particularly in their global and civic literacy, and we hope to continue running it in the years to come.”
