F.a: Global Citizenship Education Seeks to address the following challenge: Influencing the fulfillment of child rights and related global development requires comprehension of the complex challenges, the underlying cause effect relations and the role of Finland as a member of the internat
ional community. Without the comprehension, the general public or the decision makers are not able to advocate for the fulfillment of child rights and global responsibility.Aims to enforce global civic responsibility contributing to realization of human an
d child rights. PlanCitizen provides opportunities for people to participate and get engaged. PlanCitizen consists of Children’s Board, Young adults’ network and General Volunteering. Children’s Board aims at raising awareness of child rights and adv
ocating for the rights of children in developing countries. The Board organises events and campaigns such as Beat the Violence. International co-operation with Vietnamese youth enforces mutual learning and exchange of information. Young adults’ network m
otivates young adults to take action for global justice. The network is a facilitating platform for youth volunteering and youth participatory advocacy. Nationally, it advocates and raises awareness on global youth unemployment especially. The cooperation
