“The fundamental principle is joy” – Music education pioneer VV Sadagopan

“Children should grow with joy, courage and freedom and a discipline born out of these attributes. The fundamental principle is joy, suggestion must be the method, the emphasis should be on the imaginative and creative experience of music and teaching should follow a “flow-form-flow” spiral. – VV Sadagopan

World Children’s Day (20 September) is UNICEF’s annual day of action for children, by children, marking the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Children’s rights are human rights. But in too many places today, children’s rights are under attack.

On World Children’s Day we make space for children and young people to raise their voices on the issues that matter to them. By prioritizing children’s rights and participation, we can help to build a better future for all. | Learn more: https://www.unicef.org/world-childrens-day
