KidPower Social Change Model contains 3 core elements: empowerment training, inclusion of children in decision-making and cooperation between stakeholders.

Help children see themselves as strong, valuable and capable of breaking away from unhealthy patterns. This is best reached through empowerment training which maintains the delicate balance between protection from harsh parts of reality and learning how to deal with reality: a positive approach which is not based on instilling fears but on building skills to protect one self.

Training children to say no to adults is an objective which is hard to reach and on top of this it is instilling a burden on the shoulders of these children, as after being trained they would be responsible for their own fate. We acknowledge that for child protection to take shape a need for attitude change in society is necessary which sees children as individuals with right to development. This includes seeing children as part of social structure, as well as being change agents. Practically this means giving children a say, in the family, in schools, in institutions, in the workplace. Children are not a constructed category but little people who need big rights!
