Scotland's Commissioner for Children and Young People, Tam Baillie would like children between the ages of 2 and 5 to have their very own creative conversation using their own forms of expression.
This creative conversation, which runs from 12th September - 31st October 2011, is called a RIGHT wee blether.
Tam Needs You...
As parents, carers and early years specialists you know how skilful children can be at expressing their views and experiences through sound, motion, words, actions, art and play. We’d like you to play a vital role in this lively conversation by encouraging children to create a Wee Book About Me and capturing their thoughts and feelings in Our Wee Story.
Why it's Important to Get Involved
It is a chance for young children to inform the Commissioner's work, to celebrate the variety and diversity of the ways in which children might choose to participate and to encourage their active engagement and involvement.
This conversation builds on the Commissioner’s 2010 national consultation with Scotland’s school aged children called a RIGHT blether. Over 74,000 children and young people took part in a RIGHT blether through creative projects, educational workshops, Tam’s Tour and a national vote. The outcomes influenced the Commissioner’s work plan directly in four key areas: Where I Live, Where I Learn, My Community and, The Country I live in - Scotland.
