“A place designed with children in mind?” you might wonder, looking around. Here at the Place des Droits de l’Enfant, that’s not just a whimsical thought, it’s becoming a reality. This square, tucked away in the 14th arrondissement, is undergoing a transformation inspired by the very heart of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Place des Droits de l’Enfant stands as a tribute to this pivotal document, inaugurated in 2009 on the convention’s 20th anniversary. But it’s more than just a commemorative space. A project aptly named “Et toi, tu ferais quoi à ma place?” seeks to reshape this urban crossroads into a vibrant village square. Imagine a place alive with activity, greenery weaving through the area. This vision, born from workshops and consultations with local residents in 2019 and 2022, aims to ensure the Place des Droits de l’Enfant reflects the spirit of its name – a space where children’s voices are heard and their needs considered.
