| dc.description.abstract | This Foundation Report, whilst focusing
on Ireland and Northern Ireland, reflects
the UNESCO (United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organisation) position
that rights and well-being are a global concern
and the extent to which they are realised affects
the lives of all children and young people.
The Report integrates the position of UNESCO
on rights and well-being2 into current thinking and
practice in Ireland and Northern Ireland in responding to
the lessons of the past and shaping a society where a happy childhood
is a norm and not an aspiration. The specific purpose of the Report is to
contribute to a shared understanding of a human rights-based approach
to monitoring children and young people’s well-being. | en_US |
