First launched in 2013, National Children’s Day is devoted to promoting the right of every child to enjoy more time outside, and will take place this year on 11 May.
This National Children's Day, the Save Childhood Movement, the Wild Network and the Campaign for a Commercial-free Childhood are teaming up to encourage children to swap time spent in front of a screen for time spent outdoors.
In the week leading up to National Children's Day (5-11 May), the Save Childhood Movement is linking with the United States' Campaign for a Commerical-Free Childhood's 'Screen-free week', asking children to pledge to turn off televisions, videos and mobile phones in favour of spending time in the outdoors.
