Background
Business has enormous potential to do good for children – every day business interacts with and touches the lives of children. They are not just consumers, they are family members of employees, young workers, future leaders and they share the communities and environment in which business operates. The workshop encourages participants to consider how their own business activities – for example, through innovations in product development, through the way they advertise, or the relationships they have with local communities – affect children, and how they can respect and support their rights. UNICEF believes that this is not just good for children; it is also good for business.

Objective
The UNICEF workshop will be a dynamic two days of learning and innovation on child rights and business. Using innovative social designthinking and approaches, the workshop will bring together child rights experts, country experts, and business leaders to tackle the real dilemmas facing children around the globe. The workshop will also help make the connections and build key relationships with experts, innovators and child rights experts.
