In just four weeks, more than 1 million young people have read the stories of the International Children’s Peace Prize winners. Since the launch of the KidsRights campaign, which allows young people under the age of twenty-five to access the book Changemakers for free online, there has been an overwhelming response from all corners of the world.
The twenty powerful stories of the winners inspire young people and show that positive change is possible—and it can start right in your own street, at school, or in the community where you live. They demonstrate that as a child or young person, you have the power to make a difference and set the world in motion. Change from the ground up!
Children and young people want to shape their own future. They often feel powerless in the face of the challenges that seem to overwhelm them, whether it’s climate change, war, or global tensions. They are searching for inspiring role models who can provide direction and hope for a better future. The United Nations supports the International Children’s Peace Prize winners and will help distribute the book Changemakers through its channels.
