Düsseldorf celebrates UNICEF: Experience exciting events about children's rights!
From June 23rd to 27th, Düsseldorf will become a hotspot for culture, education and conscious social issues. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Unicef working group in Düsseldorf, the city is expecting numerous events that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. The main attraction, an exhibition entitled “Unicef Photo of the Year”, offers a deep insight into the realities of children around the world.
The exhibition, which can be found in the town hall foyer, Marktplatz 2, shows impressive photo reports about children and their challenges. Opening times are Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Entry is free, so everyone has the opportunity to engage with the important issues surrounding children's rights and challenges in different countries. rp-online.de reports that the exhibition particularly highlights the importance of partnerships in achieving sustainable development goals and helping children.
A look at important topics
An impressive image from the Unicef exhibition is the “Unicef Photo of the Year 2019,” which shows the girl Wenie fishing for plastic waste in the port of Manila. This photo addresses pressing issues such as poverty, pollution and child labor. Despite a ban, child exploitation in slums is widespread. UNICEF estimates that millions of children worldwide are exploited in various sectors, highlighting the urgency of these issues. tagesspiegel.de emphasizes how important it is to open your eyes to this reality and to raise awareness through art and photography.
The competition's patron, Elke Büdenbender, also emphasized that protecting children's rights and combating child labor are crucial. The commitment of Unicef and its partners remains essential to bring about change and provide better living conditions for children around the world.
Events for every taste
But that's not all! Düsseldorf offers exciting events throughout the week for young and old. On Monday at 7:30 p.m. there will be a charity comedy night in the Shorter Brewery with comedians Björn von Morgenstern and Mareike Richter. The proceeds go to the child protection clinic at the Evangelical Hospital in Düsseldorf, and admission starts at 18 euros.
Music lovers will get their money's worth at Ludovico Einaudi's concert on Monday at 8 p.m. in the PSD Bank Dome. The tickets are available from 97.50 euros. For those curious, there will be a lecture with a kimono demonstration in the EKŌ House on Tuesday at 7 p.m., which is also free. The film screening “Crucifix – Scandal in the Düsseldorf Carnival” on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the city museum, which is about artistic freedom and religion, should be equally exciting.
But children are also catered for: An exciting Lego workshop on building and programming robots will take place on Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Rath city library - completely free with prior registration.
