The UIA’s Architecture & Children Website is provided by the UIA Architecture & Children Work Programme. It operates as a portal designed to encourage international exchange of information and experience on teaching children and young people about architecture.
Any UIA Member Section that includes information about ‘Architecture and Children’ activities on its own website, and undertakes to observe the terms of the UIA BEE Network Agreement, can join the Network. There is no charge to Member Sections for this link.

The UIA BEE Guidelines are designed to help architects and teachers all over the world to collaborate successfully.
The UIA BEE Website Agreement, to which all UIA Member Sections linked to the Website agree, states that they will "Adhere to the principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child*, in particular Articles 2.1, 17 and 29."
Many countries also have laws, codes or guidelines for the protection of children from accidents, exploitation and other risks.
Architects, Teachers and Others organising Architecture & Children activities, or working with children in the context of Architecture & Children programmes, should take steps to ensure that all relevant national laws, codes and guidelines for the protection and safety of children are observed.
