2020 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) – Brisbane

It exceeded my expectations and is more applicable to my workplace than I realised. I also think that our organisation can contribute to a collaborative partnership for advocacy in the child rights space.” - participant

This program has concluded

The Diplomacy Training Program (DTP) and its partners held a 2-day intensive training program to build knowledge and understanding of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), of the Australian reporting process to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child (the Committee) and with a focus on implementation of the Committee’s recent Concluding Observations (Recommendations) to Australia, made in September 2019.

The training program enabled government officials and NGOs to build their knowledge and understanding of the CRC and its principles - including the influential interpretations of the Committee - and relate the CRC and the Committee’s Concluding Observations to relevant policy and practice in Australia.

This training program follows successful pilot programs held in Sydney in 2017 and Darwin in 2019.
