Children learn the law through interactive Your Justice Your World exhibition

Brainchild of Norfolk Local Criminal Justice Board (LCJB), the recent Your Justice Your World interactive exhibition for children and young people was a hit. I had a privilege to photograph the event.

The event enabled criminal justice agencies to actively engage with the public and showcase their work in the stunning glass Forum building in Norwich.

Your Justice Your World transports children into a fictional, yet realistic town called Crownford Rise. Online civil, family and criminal justice scenarios and case studies engage children in problem-solving, emotional literacy and research activities to increase their understanding of their rights and responsibilities and the workings of the justice system. Fourteen year-old Rakhee who visited the interactive exhibition and trialled the new educational resource said.

"Your Justice Your World is an easy to navigate and fun site. I liked the fact that it has different sections for primary and secondary students, which makes it better for them to learn as the language and activities would suit them. I could also see myself using it outside of school as it has all sorts of interesting areas for researching! As a Young Member of the National Children's Bureau, I will definitely be spreading the word to my peers about this website in our quarterly magazine."
