Children's rights are an important topic because they affect us all. For everyday life together in the family, in the institution, at school and in general, it is important that children and also adults and parents know these rights and are involved in the implementation and observance of children's rights.
With the project "Count Para and Children's Rights", the pilgrimage town of Kevelaer invites all Kevelaer institutions and schools to participate in various events. Count Para (derived from ParaGraf) accompanies children and young people in Kevelaer as a guardian of children's rights. The aim of this project is to draw attention to the importance of the topic for adults as well as children and young people. Parents are also invited to talk to their children about children's rights.
