Millie Bobby Brown Calls for Children Not to Give Up on Adults

For World Children’s Day on Saturday November 20th, Media.Monks partnered with UNICEF’s youngest Goodwill Ambassador, Millie Bobby Brown on a video that flips the script – encouraging adults to listen to children for a change. “We’ve listened to adults, but now it’s time for them to listen to us,” Millie Bobby Brown comments in the video. “It’s time to remind them that big changes can start small and that only together can we change the world.”

World Children’s Day – UNICEF’s global day of action for children, by children, celebrated every year on 20th November – aims to raise awareness for the millions of children that are denied their right to adequate health care, nutrition, education and protection, and to elevate young people’s voices as critical to any discussions about their future. 

“This film highlights the disparity between the education children receive from adults, and what adults say with their actions everyday, as if they have forgotten the values that they once passed on to children,” said Media.Monks global creative director Mariana Albuquerque. “Our objective was to develop a creative platform – for young people, from young people – encouraging them to raise their voices and guide adults to understand urgent issues.”
