This is Tom!

Tom lives at home…

... where he has a great family.

In his neighbourhood…

… Tom has friends to play with.

At school…

… Tom knows all his 30 fellow students...

... and his teacher ;-)

All these people inspire Tom every day.

…

Many more interesting peoplelive around Tom.

People that Tom has never met.

Who is his mayor?

Does anyone in town work as amember of parliament?

What is important to the neighbourhood cop?

Curious as he is, Tom would loveto get to know everyone!

As it turns out… so do his class mates!

…

To help Tom and his friends find out,who does what for children…

… we started the Children’sInternational Press Centre®.

An international network of child journalists.

…

Are you as curious as Tom and his friends?

Then lets start findinginspiring adults around you!

Just like Tom, you and your classcan start your own ChildPressCentre®.

Supervised by your teachers you all goon a search for interesting adults.

You start your search in a digitalenvironment and in the media.

For each adult, you try to find out what it is thatmoves him, and what he has achieved so far.

As a true journalist, you first do research …

… then try to get in contact …

v

… and finally you make reports in the form ofradio shows, movies and magazines.

v

In school you all share the storiesabout the people you met.

Together with your classmates, you make a selection of the most inspiring adults.

These adults are featured in your own‘Who Does What for children’ catalogue.

The catalogue shows the different rolesof each adult in society …

… and what his or her talents are.

If you like, you can upload yourvideos and interviews.

…

Once a year, we gather themost inspiring stories of adults worldwide,

and publish them inthe Worlds 500 for children.

…

Join our search for adults who canmake a difference for children!

During the process, you learn to thinkand act as a true journalist.

… and you’ll discover that there are many loving, inspiring and helpful adults, all over the world.

People who can help youenhance your talents…

… and who’s talents may be of benefitto you one day.

…

Are you in?

Turn your class room intoa true newsroom!

We will provide you with a CPC worldmap,a microphone, and a digital platform.
