A Right to Decide explores how public art commissioning and engagement can contribute to shaping Child Friendly Cities in the UK and internationally; most notably the role of public art and co-creation in sustaining and championing Unicef’s Child Friendly Cities in the UK and wider Europe.
Featuring case studies and speakers from two Child Friendly Cities: Helsinki, Finland, the first Nordic city recognised by UNICEF in 2024, and Nottingham, UK, which is a candidate for official recognition as a Child Friendly City.
Through this conversation, the speakers explore how artists, commissioners and institutions can work more equitably with children to ensure their voices, needs and priorities are integrated into public policies, programmes and decision-making.
