dc.description.abstractA child tends to be seen in society as someone who “still can't do”, “still doesn't understand”… However, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, especially articles 12 and 13, specifies that children have the right to give their opinions and be heard by adults and that children should be able to share their opinions and thoughts freely (UNICEF, 1989). That implies, therefore, conceptualizing children as capable beings, citizens who belong and participate actively in society. Katz (2004) argues that providing children with an environment that allows them to explore, discover, ask questions, will help them create conjectures, test them, persist in solving problems, committing to their learning and gaining responsibility. And, although this is becoming a reality in schools, it’s necessary for society to adjust to this development of conceptions, involving children in all matters that concern them so that they can effectively become citizens of the world without it being an utopia. In Portugal, little was created directly for children when communicating the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic; but in other countries, such as Canada and Norway, it was a concern effectively put into practice by the media and some regulatory bodies of nations. This work reveals examples of that and analyzes the implications and benefits of this communication for the youngest and how to communicate with children and young people contributes to making Children's Rights a reality in our world, knowing that there is still a long path to walk.pt_PT
