The web and communications team

During school time, my citizenship teacher, asked me to get involved with the ‘Get Ready For Geneva’ scheme, as she thought I would be interested. Then in the post I received a letter saying I had not got through, but their was asked if I wanted to take part with the website development team and I quickly got in touch as I really wanted to do this. After emailing many times I got to be on the website development team.

I got involved with Get ready for Geneva because I thought it would be a great opportunity to work with new people. I wanted to make new friends at the same time. I am very glad that I got chosen to take part in the project.

I wanted to be part this project as it helps young adults from across the UK. I believed that CRAE would make a difference through its work and I jumped at the chance of helping. I think this would be a good opportunity to learn more about young adults and children’s views on our society today.

The reason I got involved in Get ready for Geneva is I am very passionate about children and young people’s rights. I think that the UK should be doing more to promote the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child to show that children and young people do have rights. I heard about the project through my youth forum.

Joining the Geneva project means that I can have the chance to make a greater difference for young people, as well as fighting for their rights. I’m also member of the UK Youth Parliament which means that I am really interested in matters that are faced by young people.

I wanted to be involved in Get ready for Geneva so that I could find out more about children’s rights as well as raising awareness about the difficult lives that some children lead. I hope to make a difference to children without education, freedom and all the other rights some children don’t have. I am sure the project will be a great success.

Hi, I’m Kirrun! I heard about Get ready for Geneva through the CRAE’s young peoples' panel and it sounded very interesting. Also, I think this will be a fantastic opportunity to try and improve lives for young people in the UK, so I decided to get involved.

I got involved with CRAE, by chance and it is the best thing that could have ever happened! Children's Rights are really important to all young people... That is why i believe being part of such an amazing group we can make change happen to help young people across the UK...

I wanted to join the web and communications team because I like using the internet and playing games. I like reading newspapers, especially the sports sections and reading about human rights. As a member of my school council, I speak up for children – on issues that affect the pupils in my school.

I got involved in Get ready for Geneva because I’m interested in websites, art, writing articles for organisations and for young people and designing newsletters. I feel that young people should have a say in issues, which affect them, and I hope that the Geneva project will help me do that.

I joined the Get ready for Geneva project as I thought it was a great way to get my views about what involves me heard on a higher level, I’ve also found that it is a great way to meet new people and make some fantastic new friends.

I’ve been involved in CRAE for over a year and met some great people. This project seemed like a great opportunity to make more friends, whilst learning more abut children’s rights and teaching others about it too.

Hey I’m Wez. I’m a rather cheery person and always bring people back into happy-land. I joined the Geneva project as I think it is something that needs to be worked on I’m always open for anyone who wishes to talk and after I work hard I PLAY HARDER. Cya Dudes/Dudettes.
