UNICEF Spain has opened the call to incorporate up to 15 new members to Paivoz, its advisory group for child and adolescent participation. Young people aged 12 to 17, with or without prior experience, can apply until 30 September 2026.
UNICEF Spain has launched a new call to become part of Paivoz, its advisory group for child and adolescent participation. The initiative is open to girls, boys, and adolescents aged between 12 and 17, with or without prior experience in participation processes, and up to 15 new members will be selected.
Paivoz brings together minors from different territories who collaborate with UNICEF Spain by providing their insights on issues related to childhood and adolescence. Participants will be able to share experiences, take part in meetings, work in teams, and present proposals to promote children's rights.
The call aims to form a diverse and inclusive group, with special attention to those who face more barriers to exercising their right to participate. Interested individuals must be aged between 12 and 17, eager to participate, respectful of others' opinions, committed to the group's meetings and activities, and have the authorization of their legal guardians.
To submit an application, candidates must fill out the form and send a presentation video in which the applicant introduces themselves, shares their prior experience if they have any, explains why they want to be part of Paivoz, and what they could contribute to the group. The video will be used solely for the internal review of UNICEF Spain and Paivoz during the selection process.
The deadline for submitting applications is 30 September 2026. Communication to selected individuals will be on 9 October, and joining the advisory group will take place between October and November.
For questions or to request more information, UNICEF Spain has set up the email ciudadesamigas@unicef.es.
