111.This definition of information includes two aspects of the right to information: the right to inform and the right to be informed. Acting pursuant to the provisions cited above and others, several actions have been taken with a view to promote children's access to information: - Organisation of several child rights training workshops for journalists - Organisation of book fairs for youth; - Creation of a journalists’ network friends of children in order to better promote child rights; - Participation of the media in child rights popularisation activities at national and local levels; - Media coverage of activities pertaining to children, such as the international exhibition on children which took place from 3 to 10 November 2008; - Development of a Child Rights Manual; - Conduct opinion polls on the Rights of the Child; - Organization of national drawing competition within youth institutions and with the voluntary youth movement on various topics, such as children's rights, environmental protection, social problems, citizenship, and encouraging children to share their views and raise awareness on issues that affect them. - In 2013 a national drawing competition was organized under the slogan "save my child" and it recorded the participation of thousands of children from youth institutions. In this regard, the civil society, heavily involved in these activities, states that the Ministry of National Solidarity, Family and Women's Affairs in the National Action Plan, informs that partners will work to build an adequate system which will allow the full participation of all children in decisions affecting them. In this framework, a parliamentary day is dedicated to the child, especially on the occasion of the celebration of the anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20 and the Day of the African Child on June 16. In addition, child-friendly cities allow children to express themselves and contribute to the development of local policies through the municipal people's congresses of children. It also indicates that the Ministry of Youth and Sports has requested technical support from UNICEF to develop a policy for youth recreation. Since 2006, there is a project for youth as agents of change funded by the Swedish Agency for Development, which aims to promote youth participation. In 2009, there was a youth consultation on flooding, and the need for youth legitimacy from it emerged, as well as their will to be active. Between late 2010 and 2011, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has worked to include greater participation of young people in youth centres established by the Ministry. Work refurbishing and renovation have contributed to reach 2,000 youth centres in 2011, with the introduction of new programs and the promotion of community youth movements and adolescents through activities. To encourage youth and adolescents membership, the centres were equipped with Internet networks at nominal prices. In addition, there were 48 events (theatre, music, dance) with educational content related to social issues affecting young people (drugs, AIDS...). Finally, in 2011 a new program of summer camps for children began in partnership with the Department of Social actions, as well as the municipal people's congresses, in order to benefit children from disadvantaged families and children with disabilities. 19
