CHILDREN'S WEEK EXPANDS IN BALLARAT IN 2023

Children’s Week 2023 returns from 23-28 October and will this year be expanded to offer more opportunities for families and young children to be involved throughout the week. Children’s Week is celebrated nationally and recognizes the skills, talents, achievements and rights of children. The 2023 theme is "children have the right to relax, play and to take part in activities they enjoy", which is drawn from a simplified version of Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. This year, there will be multiple free events held at various City of Ballarat venues including Parent Place, Ballarat Aquatic and Lifestyle Centre, Ballarat Botanic Gardens, the Art Gallery of Ballarat, and the libraries. The events will include craft sessions, interactive story times and physical activities. All activities are family friendly and aimed at children aged 0-5 years with some activities available for primary school aged children as well. MORE HERE
