It's brilliant to see children being actively involved in public consultations on the planning of their city - we need much, much more of this, and not just in Dublin!! 👇👇 #childrensrights #childrensvoices #childparticipation #childfriendlycitiesPS. check out the flying pig half-way down the page in the link! 😅 ...

How is the Council Making Sure Kids Have a Voice in City Planning?

dublininquirer.com

Work being done to hear more from children is great and needs to be built on, say some councillors and academics.

#ReportCard2021 Avail at link below :www.childrensrights.ie/sites/default/files/Report-Card-23-Feb-2021.pdfFantastic today to hear directly from young people at the launch of #ReportCard2021 from the Children’s Rights Alliance. Covid has had a negative impact on all of our lives, but young people in particular have had so much taken away from them, and must be given the adequate supports that they need.Dean age 17, was so articulate in capturing the National mood of lockdown, and the Impact of COVID on children & families. Adam speaks to the fact that not all young people like spending time in the digital space and that being on the phone and online constantly is not positive for mental health and wellbeing Emily, age 15, gave an incredible insight into the lived experience of a student on a reduced timetable, and the impact on children's ability to fully access and participate in education.Caoimhe, highlighted the need for all stakeholders to support children on reduced timetables.Youth and child voices are central to our society. Central to the Museum of Childhood Ireland are our YV Team: Alannah O'Sullivan Sinead O’Reilly Freya Feeney Jemi John Emma Azim Danny Sheehy Danny Collins.

Mary Wollstonecraft. Wollstonecraft's oeuvre shows "a keen and vital concern with education, especially the education of girls and women". One year before she published Original Stories, she wrote a conduct book (a popular 18th-century genre, akin to the modern self-help book) entitled Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787), which describes how to raise the ideal middle-class woman. In 1789, she assembled The Female Speaker, a text meant to edify the minds of young women by exposing them to literature; she modelled it after William Enfield's anthology The Speaker, which was designed specifically for men. Just one year later, she translated Christian Gotthilf Salzmann's Elements of Morality, a popular German pedagogical text. Wollstonecraft continued writing on educational issues in her most famous work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), which is largely a defence of female education. She also devotes an entire chapter to outlining a national education plan—she envisioned a half-public, half-private, co-educational system. She also directly challenged Rousseau's Emile(1762), which claimed that women should not be taught to reason since they were formed for men's pleasure and that their abilities lay in observation rather than reason. When Wollstonecraft died in 1797, she was working on two more educational works: "Management of Infants", a parenting manual; and "Lessons", a reading primer inspired by Anna Laetitia Barbauld's Lessons for Children (1778–79)en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughts_on_the_Education_of_Daughtersen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_Stories_from_Real_Lifeen.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Vindication_of_the_Rights_of_WomanReally interesting work from artist Fion Gunn on the subject of Mary Wollstonecraft.

The Athlone Castle team is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of renowned illustrator, Victor Ambrus (1935-2021) Victor Ambrus was a Hungarian-born, British illustrator of history, folk tales and children books. As one of the founding members of the Channel 4 series Time Team, he created reconstructions of archaeological sites giving his viewers a glimpse of the past times.For us, he was the artist whose wonderful illustrations bring the history and story of Athlone Castle and the Siege of Athlone to life. Our thoughts are with his family at this time.May he rest in peace. ...
