Have you seen this video about rights for young people? Oi come back! It’s actually really good, really important and really rather clever.

It's called Right Words, Wrong Order shows how the power of words can make a big difference when changing attitudes towards the UNCRC or the United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Children.

The UNCRC is an international agreement that protects the human rights of people under the age of 18 and Wales was the first country in the UK to fully adopt this and implement it in to its policy making. There’s a whopping 42 parts to it that directly concerns young people (you can see them all here) and most of them will be self-evident but that doesn’t mean they’re not important or can be ignored.

The video comes from the Let’s Get It Right website which is this massive resource tool for teachers and youth workers to spread the message about the UNCRC. We’ve decided to cherry-pick some of the more interesting parts and post them here on CLIC. Keep an eye out for more videos and interactive widgets over the next couple of weeks.

Wayhey!!! Finally get to see it! Been looking for this video for ages! So proud of all my little munchkins for all the standing in the rain they did, bless 'em. Thank you so much to Dynamix and Burning Red and everybody else involved! This video is amazing!

This is great! One thing, though. The female voice sounds suspiciously like Emily Doel, rather than Lorien. In fact, I'm almost certain that's Emily, and I'm pretty definite that's not Lorien, although I did hear rumours of her being used for the Welsh side of it. Although it's brilliant, and very cleverly done. Well done all!

It is Emily's voice on the English side! I'm not entirely sure how or if the credits can vbe recified though! But it is Emily doing the English, and if you watch the Welsh version, that's Lorien. Editors, can anything be done about this?

And Tansi, I know what you mean! This video is so awesome! They all look MAGIC!!
