Our Rights, Our Voice, Our Art Project

Over the past months, children have come together in fun, supportive workshops to learn about their rights, to build friendships, and to discover just how important their voices are. Through creative activities, they’ve explored who they are, what matters to them, and how they want the world to see them.

This journey hasn’t just been about making art – it’s been about making space. A space where young people feel safe, confident, and proud to share their stories. A space where creativity becomes a tool for healing, connection, and hope.

And now, these powerful stories are being shared with the wider world, where we are showcasing their artwork. These exhibitions are more than displays – they are a call to listen. To listen to the voices of care experienced children and young people. To understand their challenges, to celebrate their strengths, and to see the world through their eyes.

Through this project, children and young people are growing in confidence as they learn about their rights and discover the power of using their voices. Creativity is giving them new ways to express themselves, connect with others, and begin to heal. At the same time, our communities are learning and changing too – developing greater understanding, empathy, and respect as they experience these stories and artworks. One right has come through as the most important of all: the right to be safe. Many of our young people have experienced times in their lives when they did not feel safe, and being able to explore this right through art has been both powerful and healing. This is why the project matters: when children are given the chance to be heard, they shine. Their art is powerful, their voices are strong, and their stories deserve to be celebrated.
