This Children’s Week, the Woodend Neighbourhood House is inviting local children to take part in creating a vibrant community mural celebrating the 2025 campaign theme: Everyone Should Know About Children’s Rights.
Two free art workshops will be held on Thursday 23 October.
The first session, from 4pm to 5pm, is for children in prep to grade 2, followed by a second session from 5.15pm to 6.45pm for children in grades 3 to 6.
Led by Creative Me, a local mobile art “un-school” based in the Macedon Ranges, the workshops will explore important children’s rights – including the right to play, learn, and be heard – through art and creative expression.
“This mural project is a wonderful opportunity for children to come together, express themselves creatively, and reflect on the importance of children’s rights in our community,” Woodend Neighbourhood House manager Melisssa Baker said.
“We can’t wait to see what the children design and create.”
Children are encouraged to bring their imagination and enthusiasm.
All materials will be provided, and the event is free, but bookings are essential via the Woodend Neighbourhood House website.
