LUCKNOW: Lucknow boy Aryan Chaudhary was the only person from India to have attended the world’s first ‘Children’s General Assembly’ in Billund, Denmark, from September 19 to 21.
The first-of-its-kind event was held ahead of the 76th session of United Nations General Assembly in New York, which is ongoing from September 21-27.
About 80 participants were shortlisted from across 40 nations in the first round. Of this, 10 groups were formed and two participants from each group have been invited to Billund. Aryan was the only child selected from India.
The children had made a manifesto to be presented to former president of UN General Assembly Mogens Lykketoft. The children will gain some important competencies from the event which are crucial for the individual and the community.
