Children's Parliament

It is a French youth parliamentary initiative (Children's Parliament) that provides a platform for children to engage in democratic processes. The initiative allows participants to learn about legislative procedures and voice their views on societal issues. It operates as part of civic education efforts linked to the French National Assembly. Through simulated legislative sessions, children draft proposals, debate them, and vote on outcomes. The programme reaches schools across France, aiming to foster civic awareness among young citizens.

While specific size or reach figures are not disclosed in the source material, the programme is recognised for its national scope. Its distinguishing attribute lies in its specialisation in youth civic engagement, focusing exclusively on children's participation in parliamentary processes. This focus sets it apart from traditional legislative bodies that serve adult constituencies. In March 2023, the organisation's website was rendered inaccessible by a DDoS attack carried out by the pro‑Kremlin hacktivist group NoName057(16). The attack, which also targeted the French National Assembly and Senate, was claimed by the group via its Telegram channel and highlighted the digital vulnerability of the Children's Parliament platform.
