The theme for Children’s Week this year, relates to Article 17 of the United Convention on the Rights of the Child, 'CHILDREN HAVE THE RIGHT TO RELIABLE INFORMATION FROM THE MEDIA'. You can read more about Children's Week here: http://www.childrensweek.org.au/
I thought I would point you in the direction of the Australian Council for Children and the Media - http://childrenandmedia.org.au/. They have some great resources and information for educators and families, and you may find some inspiration there as you come up with your ideas for Children’s Week.
The Parent Guides section is particularly useful - http://childrenandmedia.org.au/resources/fact-sheets
Don’t forget to check out your local state links for Children's Week, here in the ACT you can apply for a seeding grant of up to $200 from ACT Children’s Week Committee, applications for these close on 22nd August. More information is here http://www.actchildrensweek.com.au/ (the Grants link is on the left hand side).
We have been coming up with some ideas for our services, what sort of things do you think you could do?
