Abstract: If we want adolescents in Malta to be responsible and active citizens, we need to start allowing them to do so from their earliest years. Waiting is a mistake. Thirty years after Malta ratified the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, the concept of ‘child participation’ is not yet fully realised in our islands, even though children’s rights and participation are fundamental concepts of democracy.
