Welcome
We are Just Kids is proud to support the next generation of citizens.
Founded in 2016, in the wake of major world events, We are Just Kids' objective is to put human rights and citizenship at the heart of the primary school curriculum.
The Founder, Julianne Hughes-Jennett is a lawyer and mum to two young kids. In 2016, she was struck at how naturally her children, then aged 8 and 6, grasped concepts such as fairness, freedom of speech, and equality and recognised the importance of these topics for all children in a world where concepts such as human rights are ever more under threat.
Inspired, she reached out to fellow lawyers, Sarah B, Sarah M and Lindsay, later joined by Treasurer, Liz, to found We are Just Kids to provide human rights and citizenship programmes for primary age children across the United Kingdom, with a particular focus on low-income neighbourhoods.
Please join us on our mission to create the next generation of citizens.
