Welcome to the First News Conflict Children Campaign in partnership with the Department for International Development (DFID) and Save the Children. We want children throughout the UK to have a voice in supporting the millions of children around the world whose lives are affected by conflict.

The Conflict Children Campaign will run throughout this academic year.  An Education Resource pack has been developed for children aged 7-14 Pupils will have the chance to gain an understanding of some of the causes and effects of conflict, how conflict can be prevented, and how it can be moved to resolution and recovery.

They will also play their own part in helping to change the world for children affected by conflict. By joining the campaign, each school will sign a letter of support to Douglas Alexander, Secretary of State for International Development, and David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary calling for an end to the use of child soldiers and protection for all children from the effects of conflict. First News will ask the UK government to share the views of UK children wherever possible during the next year.

“Our readers told us they wanted to do something to help children like them around the world who are being affected by conflicts. It is so important that our children gain a deep understanding of the causes and effects of conflict, knowing that they can play their own part in helping to change the world for children affected by conflict”.
