Austerity Bites: Children's Voices
A Council of Europe & ENOC exhibition
What do children really think and feel about the impact that austerity measures have on their daily lives – on how they live, study, play, communicate with friends? What has really changed for them with these measures in place? Are we really putting children’s rights first?
"Austerity Bites: Children’s Voices" is the result of this creative and enriching process of providing children with a channel to express their views. A total of thirty-six children and young people across eight different municipalities and regions of Europe (Rome, the Hague, Ghent, Athens, Brussels, Glasgow, Preston, Marseille) gave us their views as rights holders by creating their own short films and animations on the impact of austerity measures.
