Our approaches

The Child-to-Child Approach is an educational process that links children's learning with taking action to promote the health, wellbeing and development of themselves, their families and their communities. Through participating in Child-to-Child activities the personal, physical, social, emotional, moral and intellectual development of children is enhanced.

Child-to-Child: a rights-based approach

Child-to-Child is a rights-based approach to children's participation in health promotion and development that is grounded in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The Convention's guiding principles of inclusion, non-discrimination and being in the best interests of the child underpin the Child-to-Child approach. We believe in a child's right and responsibility to participate in health and education as well as their right to play.

Child-to-Child approaches to learning and action

The Child-to-Child Approach links childrens learning (in or out of schools) with their lives (home and community) so that knowledge translates into behaviour and action.
