World Children's Parliament: A Historic Global Side Event

 

On April 17th, 2024, the World Children's Parliament successfully organized its first global side event, held virtually in conjunction with the ECOSOC Youth Forum. This event marked a significant milestone as it was the first global gathering run by children in the United Nations' ECOSOC side event.

 

​During the event, the term "provisional" was removed from the Parliament's title.

 

This achievement of children facilitating such a global event is documented on the UN website.​
