Child Thrive draws on rights-based approaches to foster a sense of belonging amongst children, families, schools and communities. Thousands of children and educators have participated in our programming, focused on: 

-Creating environments for young people to meet, play and interact with a variety of people committed to their well-being
-Facilitating community education programming to improve awareness of child rights and responsibilities, including ways to strengthen practices based on issues and ideas identified by local young people
-Supporting leadership and learning opportunities for young people to express their ideas on what they need to thrive
-Advocating local networks to strengthen the cross-sectoral connections of organizations serving/engaging/advocating with and for children

Where possible, Child Thrive connects Victoria-based innovators (children, pracitioners, artists, teachers, etc.) with practitioners in communities across in Canada and internationally through innovative and virtual programming.

“I learned about the difference between what I ‘need’ to grow, and what I really just ‘want’. My favourite thing was the fishing game for rights and responsibilities.” – Child, 6 years old, Oaklands Elementary School
