The main objective of the Child Rights Week 2022 celebrations at Lalua-Champapur was to promote child development through sports. Sports is a means of personal development that can serve as a vehicle for the psychological, physical, cognitive, and social development of those who practice it. It reduces stress, improves the quality of sleep, prevents diseases, and has been helpful in the therapy of several chronic diseases. Additionally, it is also the source of growing interest in taking care of oneself and staying healthy.

Like previous years, ActionAid Bangladesh has collaborated on child rights week with partner organizations in organizing different events and activities in its various intervention areas across Bangladesh with children.

Children have been trained on various things through three days of training on ‘child journalism’ organized by ActionAid in the Kallyanpur working area from 16-18 September 2022.

To enhance the child’s mental development, flourish the capacity of Child Forum members, and to make children confident by ensuring meaningful participation in the development process, ActionAid Bangladesh arranged three days long capacity building training with 30 child participants on “Child Leadership & Cultural Movement” in 2022 to enable the members to explain the basic idea of leaders and leadership; demonstrate essential leadership skills required for mobilizing others including communication, team management, conflict management and decision making; build confidence in their own leadership abilities for social change through different cultural activities like drama presentation, singing. 30 children from Child Forum, Youth Group and Community Journalist Group along with the community facilitators participated in this training.

ActionAid Bangladesh organized ‘Life Skill Based Education (LSBE)’, a three daylong training at LRP 43 with the objectives to help children by providing practical, cognitive, emotional, social, and self-management skills for life, to be exposed with the methodology of the Skills for Life course and to learn about the Skills for Life Toolkit.
