On the 20th of November 2019, Children in Wales hosted an event in the Mercure Holland hotel to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The event consisted of an opening plenary during which several national kite-mark awards were given by the first minster for Wales, Mark Drakeford (including to the Active Involvement Team), and several workshops throughout the day. There were also panel discussions as well as a marketplace.
Rose Melhuish attended the event as a representative for the Children and Young People’s Advisory Board of the Child Friendly Cities Strategy and Alana Ellis attended as a national kite-mark inspector’s team representative and they both also represented Cardiff Youth Council.
