The creative works, perspectives and experiences of Saint Lucia’s first cohort of Child Rights Ambassadors will take centre stage at a special public exhibition being held in observance of Child Month, November, 2026.
The exhibition, organised by the Department of Equity, Social Justice, Gender and Older Persons through the Division of Human Services, in collaboration with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), will run from November 13 to 26, 2026, at Blue Coral Mall, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.
Featuring photographs and visual storytelling displays, the exhibition will provide a platform for the young ambassadors to share their voices, perspectives and experiences, while highlighting the importance of children’s participation in decisions and issues that affect their lives.
Director of Human Services, Blanda Lansilo, says “the showcase reflects the voices of young people and underscores the importance of meaningful child participation.”
The exhibition will also celebrate the contributions of Saint Lucia’s first Child Rights Ambassadors, who have helped raise awareness of children’s rights and advocate for the protection, inclusion and well-being of all children.
Permanent Secretary in the Department of Equity, Esther Rigobert says, “their contributions demonstrate the value of empowering children and young people to become active participants in their communities and champions for positive social change.”
The Department invites schoolchildren, educators, parents and members of the public to visit the exhibition and experience the work of these young ambassadors as Saint Lucia continues its efforts to promote, protect and uphold the rights of every child.
