An adventure in your rights – children’s rights at Misina!
What does it mean to have rights? How can we stand up for ourselves and for one another whilst respecting each other’s boundaries? And what makes a community a place where everyone feels safe?
These issues are not only important in the world of adults. In children’s everyday lives – whether at school, on the playground or at home with their families – it is just as important for them to know that their opinions matter, their needs are valid, and they have the right to a safe and supportive environment.
Why are we talking about children’s rights in the autumn?
Autumn is a particularly important time for child protection and social responsibility: We celebrate World Children’s Rights Day on 20 November.
It was on this day in 1989 that the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is the most widely ratified international human rights treaty in history. The four pillars of the Convention are:
The principle of non-discrimination
The best interests of the child
The right to life, survival and development
Respecting the child’s views in all matters affecting them
The European Union also attaches particular importance to the protection of younger generations: the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child and the European Child Guarantee It is specifically committed to ensuring that every child – regardless of their background or place of residence – has equal access to education, culture and community development.
Élmény Tár is organising a series of three events centred on children’s rights
At Élmény Tár, we believe that rights should not be learnt through dry legal provisions and textbooks, but through lived experiences, play and safe community interactions. This autumn, we’re looking forward to welcoming children to three interactive morning sessions at Misina Tetőpont!
Animal Olympics – Everyone’s good at something!
Date: Tuesday 27 October 2026 | 10.00–12.00
Age group: For 7–10-year-olds
How can we be equal when we are so different?
At the Animal Olympics, we explore individual strengths through the characteristics and abilities of various animal characters. We’ll be playing with modelling clay, creating, moving around and working as a team to overcome obstacles, whilst having fun discussing equal opportunities and mutual acceptance.

What sort of town is nice to come home to? – Let’s plan the ideal environment!
Date: Wednesday 28 October 2026 | 10.00–12.00
Age group: For primary school-aged children
Where would you feel truly at home?
This morning, we’ll work together to create our own imaginary town. Through everyday situations and the challenges we face, we’ll explore how a community works where every child has a safe place and space of their own. We’ll work on tasks in small groups, in pairs and individually, building on empathy and the children’s own ideas.

We Are Different, We Are Together – Perspectives and the Culture of Debate
Date: Saturday 14 November 2026 | 10.00–12.00
Age group: For 11–14-year-olds
What happens when we don’t see the world in the same way? How can we have a conversation when we don’t agree?
At the November workshop, we will be reflecting on cultural differences, understanding other people’s perspectives and a culture of non-violent debate. Through role-play exercises, we will explore how we can confidently express our own opinions whilst genuinely listening to others.
