OCYA Invites Young Albertans to Share their Creativity! My Rights, My Traditions: National Child Day Art Showcase

This year, OCYS is focusing on Article 30 of the UNCRC, which protects every child’s right to practice their own culture, religion, and language. The art showcase gives young people an opportunity to explore their traditions, share their identities, and connect with others through creativity.

National Child Day is recognized annually to highlight the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). It’s a day to celebrate children’s rights and ensure their voices are heard in our communities.

OCYA is inviting young people across Alberta to share their creativity in the My Traditions, My Rights Art Showcase, part of this year’s National Child Day celebrations on November 20. The My Traditions, My Rights showcase is a way to celebrate National Child Day by amplifying the voices of young people and recognizing the importance of cultural identity. Each piece of artwork will help highlight the diversity of traditions and lived experiences across Alberta

Young people under 24 who are receiving, or have previously received, services through Child Intervention or the Transition to Adulthood Program (TAP) are invited to participate.

Submit your drawing, painting, or digital artwork (maximum size: 8.5″ x 11″) by November 7, 2025
